A few days ago I posted to the planet about an initiative underway to help get testing in place for core and I must say I am not entirely impressed by the response from the community. Take that with a grain of salt though because, naturally, the Drupal Community Rocks.
Here's the synopsis:
A) There is an organization of volunteers in place poised and ready to write the simpletests we need.
B) The only reason, that I see, they are not doing this is lack of feedback from the Drupal community.
All that you have to do is edit the wiki page at http://groups.drupal.org/node/9625 ... it's only 4 core modules we are all familiar with ... a few moments of your time. We've even taken the liberty of contributing the first set of scenarios that need testing as an example. Take a look at it ... even adding one line will help Drupal. I won't even start bugging you about contributing to the testing initiative regularly ... at least not yet.
What are you waiting for? Drupal needs you.
