[wp-hackers] WordPress 2.0.3 Tuneup Plugin

[Computer Guru]

But would they work for what we need? I mean, I can see them being useful in
cases where errors are written to the error log, but these are simple
anomalies in the script behavior - not true errors.

Had a quick play around with PHP Simple Test[1] and it looks fairly easy to
do with that, though JavaScript would be out of the question.

   http://rephrase.net/miscellany/06/atest.phps

That class contains two tests, one for making a new post, and one making a
new post with the AYS message. The first just sets the title and content,
submits the form, and checks for the "Post saved"
message. The second unsets the nonce[2] so as to always get the "are you
sure?" prompt, submits, checks to see if the AYS has come up, then submits
that and again checks for "Post saved".

They're both fairly useless and brittle, but not difficult to write.
The hard part would be coming up with decent tests to implement. :)

[2]: This required modifying SimpleTest, though, since it's been explicitly
designed to prevent changing hidden fields.
