advanced development

Just came across a great article on site development by Lullabot:
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/site-development-workflow-keep-it-code

In particular, it discusses using git and Features to migrate changes through development -> testing -> production sites.

We are just getting into using Features here, combining them with git looks like a real winner.

Hey all,
I've been scouring the web & forums for a foolproof method to merge databases from multiple developers. If I have developer 'A' working on theming certain parts of a site and developer 'B' working on theming others, I need a way to keep all changes in sync.

I have an SVN repository set up to handle web files. This works great for files but I cannot find a similar system for keeping my databases in sync.

I know there are several modules out there to assist with this (DatabaseScripts, Deploy etc) but none of these seem to offer a full, comprehensive solution.

"A Drupal Module Developer's Guide to SimpleTest" - http://www.lullabot.com/articles/drupal-module-developer-guide-simpletest
"An Introduction to Unit Testing in Drupal" - http://www.lullabot.com/articles/introduction-unit-testing

Curioso como esses links me passaram despercebidos ao longo de meses desenvolvendo com Drupal, mas é uma ótima referência para quem já percebeu o valor de se testar as coisas..rsrs

Falando sobre o valor disso, segue um trecho:

"Writing unit tests helps produce higher quality code on many levels.
