For those who are not aware, the WMF is currently attempting to replace the backend renderer for the Collection extension (mwlib). This is the renderer that creates the PDFs for the 'Download to PDF' sidebar link and creates books (downloadable in multipe formats and printable via PediaPress), using Special:Book.
Would you like to see Selenium tests for this feature? We have a few Google Code-in students that are resolving tasks that we give them faster than we can create new tasks. If you would like to see tests for this, please let me know as soon as possible. Now is already too late! :)
Even better, create a bug (and send me the link) with examples what needs to be tested.
Something like this:
- when I create a pdf from an empty page, an empty pdf file should be created - when I create a pdf from a page that has a title and one paragraph, the pdf should contain the title and one paragraph of text - and so on...
I do not know what really needs to be tested, this was just a few simple ideas.
