There are many things that need to be done to SimpleTest is to provide full test coverage, as requested by Dries, and be placed in the core. A lot of work has already been completed and we are making great strives towards making this a reality, but there is still much to do.

I have provided a general overview of what needs to be accomplished.

  1. Complete functional tests. (list)
  2. Review functional tests and ensure that they pass against HEAD and test necessary functionality.
  3. Plan unit testing
  4. Generate stub unit tests using SimpleTest Unit Testing
  5. Write unit tests.

There are a number of tasks that need to be completed to accomplish the goals above. This list is by no means final and will most likely grow with time.
