For PHP code in custom module, we use SimpleTest. But how do you test the JavaScript code in a module or a theme?

I known about JavaScript testing frameworks like Jasmine or QUnit, but I'm curious to known if and how they are used to test Drupal specific JavaScript code.

  • You could also take a look at fireunit.

Right now we don't have any automated testing of the UI. There have been talks about using Selenium and there is even a proposed session about it for DrupalCon London, but i don't know of any work that has been done yet.

This could be a nice contribution for Drupal 8.

    I think someone started with that and got some basic selenium tests working. Some details can be found on this site: ygerasimov.com/…

  • We use selenium to test lots of ui things. We use it together with jenkins (former hudson) and it works fine. Problem is the total runtime of all tests (~60 min) although we do not test nearly every (non-admin) form.

    Selenium is great for front end testing however it isn't 'unit' testing more system testing.
