Hello,
Platonides requested that Jenkins runs unit tests using $wgDevelopementWarnings. That will trigger an error in the test suite and mark the build as failing whenever a test uses a deprecated method.
As mentioned in the bug report, if the test is legit and is actually testing a deprecated method, you can override the warning by using:
$this->hideDeprecated('deprecatedMethod').
Daniel Kinzler fixed several of them in the Wikidata branch, you can look at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/21732/ | 96f7db3f
