[wp-testers] Automated Testing

[Prasath Nadarajah]

hi every body i,m new to wordpress
i,m trying to test wordpress and i have a couple of questions.

i,m a linux user and i have installed the lampstack, phpunit
i checked the test suite with subversion and configured it.
testing is working and i gt the following results.
FAILURES!
Tests: 500, Assertions: 4175, Failures: 121, Errors: 38, Skipped: 18.

can anyone explain these terms such as assertions,failures,errors.
also when i make a change in the source code how can i identify the
impact of it??
is it will be the difference in failures (more failures)?

also i gt the some  messages like
depreciated: PHP depreciated:
in the command line before the tests start.
much help is appreciated
