Testing is good. 1) Unit tests for module developers is a good idea. I looked at phpunit but development has stopped and it's not easy to configure. 2) Crawlers to check sites after an upgrade is also a good test, and I think we should leave wget in the manual but start looking at recommending other crawlers with examples. There are specific regular expressions that would be useful when crawling a site and wget can not handle them. For instance, not crawling admin is a good idea. 3) Functional testing is valuable. If we can have non-programmers create scripted tests with xml this is another thing that non- programmers can contribute to the community. Webinject seems to be a good OSS solution for this.
