1.b Unit Testing Team

RD and YH founded a new unit testing sub-team with George Wilson and Michael Babker.

RD: The idea is to get an overview what tests we have, most of them are called unit tests but in real only a few are real unit tests. Often we are testing php core functions like reflection or class inheritance. And a lot can be just deleted because the function will be removed or we use a package. Testing output in a way we are doing it is just crazy.

2. GSoC Project

We have currently 4 testing related project ideas:

1.) JavaScript Tests for Joomla 4
2.) Testing Dashboard

3.) Improvements and extended coverage for the parallel testing environment

4.) Gherkin Editor

Joomla GSoC team is still looking for mentors (not only for these projects).. So make sure you apply if you are interested in having a great summer with a lot to teach and learn

5. Selenium server standalone

Some clean up thanks to JK. No new releases.
