Testing Simplified

CMS: Now integrates QUnit for automated testing of websites

The new Test tab is now available in the CMS and makes the testing process simple and easy. This incredibly useful tool allows the developer of a site to easily debug their product. The Test Tab utilises QUnit Testing which is a powerful, easy-to-use JavaScript unit testing framework.

Navigation:

The Test tab is located in the top menu when creating a new CMS website page. Under this tab there is the title 'Setup'. This is where you can create tests. To create a test simply click 'Add' located down the bottom of the screen.

Creating a Test:

On this page the tester has a few options:

Name: The name of the tests. Eg: "Test Page for JohnSmith"
Sequence: The order of when this test is run in comparassion to other tests. Eg: "55"
Domains Pattern: This limits the condition of when this test is run. Eg: "localhost" (This will only run when the URL contains "Localhost")
Disabled: When checked this disables the test from running
Script: Place your validation code here, for the test to pass, the script must contain an assert command to finish..
- Eg: assert.ok( userName.match(/.*JohnSmith.*/), "Passed!" );
- (This makes sure the users name is "JohnSmith")
Description: Is a quick explanation of what the script does for future reference... Eg: "Checks users Name"
