On https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14Ei-KWYbZcmvT70irx6NGIJCi17tF2o1szXn... there are articles that I usually check when I do regression testing.
One group is a set of articles that used to have some sort of performance/display issues - Barack Obama, Cat, India, Richard Nixon, Europe, English language
Another group of articles - where images or Image Gallery is tested(gif, svg, image map, charts, timeline, large amount of imgs in the Image Gallery)
- *Claude Monet *- extensive Image Gallery(different img sizes) - *List of go games* - many svg images - Lilac chaser, Caridoid escape reaction - animated(gif) images - *The Club(dining club), Image map* - for image map img - *Tel Aviv(Hebrew*) for timeline img template - several specific articles with problems in their lead img
And, yes, it'd be really great if we can 1) define more precisely what articles properties we are interested to test(visiting statistics, size, structures, special layouts, imgs etc.) and 2) create a process(system) to find such articles
Also, there is still an open task - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97151 - Testing Page issues and disambiguation templates(T90250). Going through the list of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_articles_with_content_issues http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/General#Disambiguat... should help to catch some issues.
thanks Elena

The subject hints at a question that's been nagging me for a while, and now that I'm going to be hacking on testing in Lyon I wanted to ask:
Do we have a list of articles we usually run tests against?
If not, do we have any processes for curating such a list? Would anyone be interested in a brainstorming session at Lyon to discuss this further?
Basically, as a developer, I would love to have more confidence that some code I wrote doesn't break on our most popular articles. Or, if we can get more sophisticated, that *certain properties of my code hold true for certain kinds of generated pages*.*
Please respond with your thoughts and whether you think I should create a phab task for the hackathon about this. In either case, ping me anytime or grab me at Lyon to discuss further!
Regards,
Brian
- Yes, I'm talking about using property-based testing generators to
create random, shrinkable MW pages that we can run tests on. Not sure if it's practical, but could be an interesting experiment.
