My idea was that while we were building new tests to round out our test coverage, we would also use the test creation as a way to encourage consistency across our APIs. For example, we should make sure that the Post and Posts API works in a way consistent with Tag and Tags. API stability is obviously a pre-requisite for going 1.0. One reason for not doing this on 13 September is that Owen isn't available. Also on testing, we currently use a homegrown testing framework, and there has been some discussion on IRC recently about moving to PHPUnit. The obvious advantage of using what's basically the standard PHP test framework is that new developers are more likely to know how to write tests (and Habarists can develop transferable skills). We also don't have to maintain our own framework. The obvious disadvantage is that we have to rewrite our tests. Should we move to PHPUnit ? If so, should we continue with the bug hunt and try to get moved over to PHPUnit on 13 September ? -- Michael C.
