I think it's best to pick whatever term will be the most intelligible. The idea of unit tests is very widely known, so tests/unit/ should be readily understood by anyone who knows much about automated software testing at all. Would tests/selenium/ or tests/acceptance/ be more comprehensible to the average person? I had never heard the term "acceptance test" before now, and the Wikipedia article on it makes it sound like a pretty vague term. Either way, we should probably throw parser tests in the same directory. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
