[Phpmyadmin-devel] Automated testing

Hi, I've played around with phpunit a bit as of late, and think we could make better use of this for pma. The PMA_formatNumberByteDown_test test still fails for me on a conversion.... does this pass on other systems? I've setup several new testcases that uses Selenium RC [1] to replay actual browser behaviour. My first test in this is a case where I log in and do some basic browsing and change the test users password. The test scenario's are easily recorded using the Firefox Selenium IDE add-on. [2] Testing can happen in Firefox, Internet Explorer and other browsers. I've set up a cronjob which would run the test suite e.g. every day on trunk, and plan to expand this to the latest testing branch. Any errors would be mailed to me. If others are interested I could sent this to a list address. Issues: - Using a self-signed ssl certificate with Selenium RC is a pain, using non-ssl for now. [4] - Somehow selenium does not like the language selection on the cookie login page, forced English in my config for now. - The current naming scheme for test cases seems to be a bit off, according to the phpunit defaults. When running through wui.php it works, but when running individual tests the underscores in the class/file names are interpreted as directory separator. I therefore propose a CamelCase format for the new selenium classes. - The wiki has no info about testing, I propose a Devel:UnitTesting page I hope to soon commit these changes to trunk, any feedback would be very welcome.
