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).
