Hi, While discussing http://drupal.org/node/130991 on #irc I got this: "i think its well over the level of comprehension of most except for a select few maybe, its not like no one is interested in it, far from it :)" While I actually disagree -- the code is not that complicated not at all -- you can still help, lots. I have followed up with a brief functionality description to encourage *functionality reviews* I will do the same in the future so people without deep code knowledge can help out. Thanks for that.

Hi all, Just to follow up on chx's email. This weekend we will be starting a push to get more people involved in testing patches. A video tutorial (another in the quick and dirty line ;)) is in the works and this will be heavily promoted in the Dojo over the coming weeks (maybe front page of d.o too?). We will be also adding a feature at the Dojo for "Patch of the Day" to promote patches that need testing (we're focusing on core right now, but that doesn't mean that high- use contribs can't be used as well). Note that this is functionality testing and not necessarily code review so patches that have some basic instructions for newbie testers on what to test will be high on the list (chx's menu patch instructions are simple and to the point - it doesn't have to be elaborate, just give direction). I'm really hoping to give people who feel they can't contribute an inroad to helping out and more community involvement as well as building up a good community of testers that will make our push for Drupal 6 even more productive. Thanks in advance for helping guide new testers on your patches. - Addi (add1sun) On Mar 27, 2007, at 9:05 PM, Karoly Negyesi wrote:

great work, dojos. makes me want to cook up some patches ...
Great news! I'm the manager of the reviewers group, http://groups.drupal.org/reviewers. It's not that active but I'm sure that some promotion wouldn't hurt ;) Anyone who wants to step in and help organize the group is certainly welcome. Drop me a mail linking to your d.o or g.d.o account and I'll make you a manager. On 3/29/07, Addison Berry <addi@rocktreesky.com> wrote:

With all the energy towards testing in the air, I want to remind people about the Selenium firefox plugin. It is basically a little UI recorder, that will turn all of you clicks in the browser into a little file that you can play again later, or attach to a bug report or patch so someone else can replay your actions. It is super easy to use, and a lot quicker that typing out "open page x, select y from drop down z, submit page, then click on link alpha, etc". cheers, -tao Addison Berry wrote:

we use it! There used to be a drupal module that supported it, although that is uneccessary, since all you want to do basically is shove a bunch of clicks at a site and see if everything is basically in the same place (which the Firefox plugin and the standalone version does very well). saludos, Victor Kane http://awebfactory.com.ar On 3/29/07, Tao Starbow <starbow@citris-uc.org> wrote:

We also use Selenium to QA and regression test our large multiple-instance Drupal stack.

I'm new on this list and to Drupal, so I hope this isn't contributing to topic-drift, but a friend mentioned a free (registration required) talk on Selenium, in London on April 18: http://skillsmatter.com/automated-web-testing-selenium Might be of interest to some people here from the sounds of it. I'll probably pass as it's quite a trek for me. All the best, J-P -- J-P Stacey +44 (0)1608 811870 http://torchbox.com
