@jon baer: Good idea.

There exist some commercial products, search for “test data generator”.

Having fixtures is quite important. The way they are realized in rails is just the way to go

+1 for javascript testing

what id like to see is automated fixtures for “junking” a database .. like if you have a db w/ (id int, title varchar(100), post text, entered timestamp), id like to have a command line to through N random records at it to fill up the database easily and quickly.

id like to think a script of some kind already exists for this, anyone know?

thanks!

@teemow: Yes, integrated javascript testing would be nice. You can join the testsuite project on cakeforge: http://cakeforge.org/projects/testsuite/

it would be nice to integrate javascript testing with the test suite. i’ve done this by just passing the javascript test file to the jsunit testing app. also having a test suite which is a little bit more mvc. it’s hard to brand the test suite :)

as i already mentioned at felix’ blog and in the google group i would like to help refactoring the test suite.
