What is Behat?

An opensource automated testing system, written in PHP. It is used to do Behavioral/Acceptance/Customer testing.

Why are we using it?

• It has a lot of traction in the Drupal community.
• Plain English syntax, means that anyone can write tests.
• Can connect to browser emulators that support JavaScript.

What are we going to test with Behat?

As much as we can

Setting up and running tests on NGLocal

cd [directory/for/nglocal]
git pull
git checkout feature/testing

cd ~/data/code/dslm_base/profiles/cu_fit-current
git pull
git checkout testing

								./start.sh
							

Setting up and running tests on NGLocal (cont.)

								./test.sh
							

This will do a clean install of cu_fit and run the test suite.

Currently it takes ~21 minutes
