[wp-hackers] Custom Post Type Unit-Test Plugin for Testers

[Ken (WraithKenny)]

It just occurred to me (and I don't know if it'd be proper) but
perhaps Peter Westwood's "WordPress Beta Tester" could be expanded (if
he'd be so inclined) to include unit-tests, though I rather think that
a full collection of conical plugins would likely be more appropriate.

The unit tests would have to rely on being very current with core to
truly be useful as a testing suite. I think the payoff in rapid
response would be worth it though.

And I'm with Mike, I think that this applies to more then just Custom
Post Types. (It's just that Custom Post Types are currently throwing
errors on the nightly, and it's hard to confirm it's not just my poor
plugin's fault ;-)
