I use the core test for many things. As examples of how to write my own test when I'm starting a new piece of functionality. As examples of how a class/function in the core could/should be used. Can't tell you how many times this has helped. I run the Core test at least once for each new project to verify the structure is setup correctly.
You guys keep asking for some core examples, they've been there all the time, learn to use and write test. It will increase your global understanding of the core. I've learned a lot of techniques and of new features just by watching the breadth of the test cases increase. Don't separate them from the core this makes no sense, I'll separate it when I deploy a live site.

In my opinion, thats a good thing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
