Starting a TestFest in DC

Hello,

I'm organizing a one-day TestFest here in Washington, DC. I've  
already got ahold of some people who are interested; right now we're  
just trying to nail down the date. Even though it's the end of the  
month, there's interest in doing it on the 31st as it is a couple of  
days before the DC PHP Conference. Would mentors still be available  
that late?

-Joe

TestFest at Atlanta PHP

Just wanted to drop a line to say that Atlanta PHP will be taking part in the 
TestFest. We will meet for our regular meeting on May 1st in a workshop setting, 
where we'll kick off the month covering the TestFest and how to write phpt 
tests. Then, later in the month, we'll pick a Saturday for an all-day TestFest 
day, where we'll write phpt tests for specific areas of the PHP code base.

Should we just write tests for any area that needs tests or will groups need to 
"claim" the areas of the code base for which they are writing tests?

Introduction

Not sure if this is the right way to first post to this list so I apologise in advance otherwise.

Just like to introduce myself to the PHP QA team. 

I'm a long time C programmer (25yrs+) but have mainly been earning a living writing PHP based sites for the
past 9yrs.

I'm fairly involved in the Drupal project (http://drupal.org & https://drupal.org/user/39030) and
this currently consumes most of my paid for work in PHP based sites.

I'm currently writing a PECL extention (rather targeted so no one will really be interested in it, it's also
a hobby of mine) but as part of the dev I've been using SimpleTest framework.

However, it seems more natural that I should be using phpt so decided to look into it. 

So it also makes sense to me in this effort to join in the QA of PHP since I'm going to be getting into phpt as it's
also a great way to learn new things.

I have access to quite a number of servers that could be used for testing, alas, they are all Linux or FreeBSD
so I expect you have these well covered already.

Anyway, thanks for the time reading and I hope I'll post more productivly as time goes on.

One thing, I didn't see anywhere to subscribe to the list, only to post. Not sure on that.

regards,
--Andy (AjK)

TestFest in London

I'm Matt Raines and I'm the secretary at the PHP London user group. We're 
looking forward to organising an event for TestFest. We're planning to 
hold an evening event on 8 May at IBM's South Bank offices in London.

The aim of the event is to work with a group of people new to testing and 
for each of them to have written at least one test by the end of the 
evening. We have six experienced test writers who will each teach up to 
four newcomers.

We'll expect everyone to bring their own laptop with a text editor 
installed. We'll be providing PHP source and access to documentation.

We plan to focus on developing tests for one specific area, and we've 
chosen to focus on XML functions. We'll be hosting a talk about XML at our 
regular monthly meeting on 1 May to get people up to speed.

We're really keen to get involved with this and will be posting details of 
how it went and any lessons we learnt in the process in case they're 
useful to other people.

More details of our event will be coming soon on our web site at 
http://phplondon.org/wiki/May_8th_2008.

PHP 5.2.6RC4 Testing

Hello!

You are receiving this email because your project has been selected to  
take part in a new effort by the PHP QA Team to make sure that your  
project still works with PHP versions to-be-released. With this we  
hope to make sure that you are either aware of things that might  
break, or to make sure we don't introduce any strange regressions.  
With this effort we hope to build a better relationship between the  
PHP Team and the major projects.

If you do not want to receive these heads-up emails, please reply to  
me personally and I will remove you from the list; but, we hope that  
you want to actively help us making PHP a better and more stable tool.

The fourth release candidate of PHP 5.2.6 was just released and can be  
downloaded from http://downloads.php.net/ilia/. Please try this  
release candidate against your code and let us know if any regressions  
should you find any. There have been less then a dozen changes (all  
bug fixes) since RC3 two of which are security related, hence the  
delay since the last release. if all goes well, I expect the final by  
next week.

In case you think that other projects should also receive this kinds  
of emails, please let me know privately, and I will add them to the  
list of projects to contact.

Best Regards,

Ilia Alshanetsky
5.2 Release Master
