I think it would be really good to have this. For one thing, it would be easier to set up end-to-end tests of the WebObjects and Wonder code if we could start from an empty "alpha" state, connect to a fresh EC2 instance, and build and test the entire environment. This will not be able to include eclipse environment tests, but that is a different kettle of fish.
Of course, this assumes people want Wonder to be tested. There are ant tests that are runnable now and I do not think they get run.
I keep hoping that we can break out of this cycle where:
- we have minimal tests in wonder
- therefore nobody knows what tests are in wonder
- therefore nobody knows how to run tests
- therefore nobody knows how to add tests
- therefore nobody sees writing tests, or more specifically sharing tests, as an important activity
- therefore we have minimal tests in wonder
ad infinitum.
Well, hope springs eternal. Or at least, stupidity does.
