Both <a href="http://drupal.org/user/157412">Charlie Gordon</a> (me) and <a href="http://drupal.org/user/214218">Jimmy Berry</a> (aka boombatower) are now going to be at the testing sprint! Let's all thank <a href="http://google.com/">Google</a> for this awesome act of kindness towards the Drupal community!</p> <p>SimpleTest is critical to Drupal, not only for quality assurance, but also to <a href="http://buytaert.net/drupal-7-timeline">postpone the code freeze</a> so we can add more features to Drupal 7 and make it <strong>as awesome as possible</strong>.</p> <p><img src="/sites/default/files/drupal_testing.png" align="right" width = "298" /><br /> As this beautiful graph clearly shows, after Drupal has made the switch to <strong>complete SimpleTest coverage</strong> for core, the quality of Drupal will skyrocket, as we will be able to ensure that each patch committed to core does not break any of the SimpleTests, therefore <strong>less bugs and more features</strong>! When we have complete core SimpleTest coverage for Drupal, we will be free to explore awesome new features instead of spending precious time on bug hunting and bug fixing.</p> <p>Let's make that Drupal 7 release a killer! :)</p> <p><a href="/google-sponsors-two-drupal-developers-to-testing-sprint-paris" target="_blank">read more</a></p> /google-sponsors-two-drupal-developers-to-testing-sprint-paris#comments drupal google simpletest Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:08:30 +0000 cwgordon7 11 at
