'Cite' is an example that has some parser tests; basically you need to provide a .txt file with the test cases in the same format as the core ones, and have a ... hook? Or a config var? that adds your file to the list of cases to run.
Add to $wgParserTestFiles in the extension entry point: $wgParserTestFiles[] = dirname( __FILE__ ) . "/fileWithMyParserTests.txt";
- How can they make sure that those tests are run on the test server? (I think this actually requires some work on the test server, but…)
Whoever runs the test setup would need to add the extensions in.... no idea who/how at the moment. :)
LocalSettings.php Extensions installed in the wiki (ie. required by LocalSettings) have their tests run.
If you want some extension added for tests I recommend bugging hashar.
