Now that tests need +2 to be run, at least temporarily, I'm going to point out that I've not been able to run tests on my development environment in ages. I mentioned broken unit tests in Oct 4 on this list. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/64390
Niklas, are you still having these problems, or are they mostly resolved?
The ideal is for all the regular developers to automatically run the test suite locally before submitting changesets, so if anyone's had problems that stop them from doing that, we ought to learn why, and fix those obstacles.
I used to run unit tests at regular intervals. I stopped because it is such a pain to install a version of phpunit that actually works (Also its less critical to do it yourself now that jenkins does it for you).
When I used to run unit tests, there were quite regularly issues where the unit tests assumed you had the default configuration, where they really should not assume such a thing. (That was of course a while ago, so things may have changed).
