Hello,
You are right that having "unit" and "selenium" folders in tests does
not quite fit.
However, "acceptance" I don't find appropriate, either.
IMHO, Selenium actually is a framework for system testing (as it evaluates the system
functionalities from a user perspective). So, how about having a folder
"system"?
Regards,
Benedikt

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Testing Framework (was Selenium Framework - Question on coding
conventions)
I think /tests/unit and /tests/acceptance would be reasonable places
to put things, and if they are both within maintenance or in the root
doesn't really matter to me.
Remember Selenium is a framework for doing acceptance testing, not unit
testing. I don't quite see the purpose of specifying the framework name
in our directory structure. Are we planning on using more than one unit
or acceptance testing framework?
My 2 cents.

1) Where are the tests located? I suggest for
core to put them into
maintenance/tests/selenium. That is where they are now. For extensions
I propse a similar structure, that is<extensiondir>/tests/selenium.
Sounds
fine.
In the same way, since maintenance/tests contains tests that should be
run using PHPUnit, we can say that<extensiondir>/tests will contain
tests that should be run using PHPUnit.
I would prefer moving them to a subdirectory of /tests/. As we hopefully
amass more unit tests, keeping them in the top-level will get a bit
confusing when trying to distinguish them from supporting code (shared
setUp and tearDown code, the bootstrap stuff, etc)
Something like /maintenance/tests/unit/ to mirror /maintenance/tests/
selenium/ would make the most sense.
Consistency and thinking ahead is nice :)
