TestFest 2008
Posted by gladwing in Php Tuesday, 1 April 2008 06:39 No Comments
The PHP-QA team would like to announce the
TestFest for the month of
May 2008. The TestFest is an event that aims at improving the
code coverage of the
test suite for the PHP
language itself. As part of this event, local User Groups (UG) are
invited to join the TestFest. These UGs can meet physically or come
together virtually. The point however is that people network to learn
together. Aside from being an opportunity for all of you to make friends
with like minded people in your (virtual) community, it also will
hopefully reduce the work load for the PHP.net mentors.
All it takes is someone to organize a UG to spearhead the event and
to get others involved in
writing phpt tests.
The submissions will then be reviewed by members of php.net before
getting included in the official test suite. Please visit the
TestFest homepage to get
additional details on the TestFest on how to get involved, either as a
UG or by setting up the necessary infrastructure.
