What is it ?

Most of drupal features are web-oriented. It is important to have a way of testing these functions.

SimpleTest is a Drupal module included in the Drupal core from version 7.

How it works

SimpleTest creates a complete Drupal installation and a virtual web browser and then uses the virtual web browser to walk the Drupal install through a series of tests.

Each test runs in a new Drupal instance which is created from scratch. The configurations and users are not existing. If you need need some specific configurations or users for testing, you will have to create them at the test case setup.

Code example

Hello world.

Unit testing

Hello world.
