In this session I want to show you how you can test your modules and make them more reliable than they ever where! Testing rocks! And Drupal has a nice way to do this with SimpleTest. Additionaly we take a quick look at selenium and what we can do with it.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

Testing with simpletest rocks!

The first time I was forced to create a test for a core patch I wanted in D7 I really hated it. But now some months and some pain later I can say it was worth it.

Testing makes our modules more reliable. Even if we have todo a lot of work at start creating a test later on we will spend less time on debugging stuff. Even if our module ceases to work correctly we will be quicker at finding the problem.

Let us take a look how we create tests for our modules by using simpletest. It's easier than it looks and I will help you getting into it! :)
