Test Automation

admin — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 17:10:42 +0000

SimpleTest has brought a technology to Drupal, but also a methodology, both of which have greatly enhanced the Drupal development process. The test automation methodology is common to all testing frameworks. It is the topic of this article and will also serve as an introduction to the Intro to SimpleTest session this Friday at DrupalCon DC.

2 topics, 2 camps, 4 presentations

The year 2009 is starting pretty strong with a lot of events in the Drupal community. The first one for me will be DrupalCamp Germany in Köln this coming week-end, closely followed by DrupalCamp San Diego in a week. DrupalCamp Germany will be the first national Drupal event in the country, and got a lot of attention from being mentioned on Dries Buytaert's blog. DrupalCamp San Diego is also starting its first edition with a nice schedule of presentations and a documentation sprint hosted by add1sun!

What are we testing?

After multiple iterations, the Intro to SimpleTest session has gotten pretty good at teaching people how to write a test, but one of the questions that were often asked during the testing sprint that followed the session was: what do I need to test? I submitted this presentation again for DrupalCon DC as there are still a lot of developers out there who want to get familiar with automated testing, and this time we need to be able to make a better job at responding to the question "what are we testing?"

I told people I would share the slides for the intro to testing presentation, so here they are. Also, after talking with Kristof Van Tomme earlier tonight, it seems that the presentation videos should be ready pretty quickly, so check back here for updates!

Update: the video from the presentation is now available here.

SimpleTest presentation

The monthly Swiss Drupal User Group meeting took place yesterday at the Hochschule für Technik Zürich. This was a good occasion to do a test run of my presentation on SimpleTest, and the questions from participants of diverse level of understanding definitely gave me some insights on points that could be improved. The overall feedback was good, including a short but positive response on rapsli's blog.

Szeged, here I come!

I am happy to announce that I will be attending my second DrupalCon. This time, the conference is taking place in Szeged, Hungary on August 27-30 with a one-day coding sprint afterwards.
