[wp-testers] aut

[Prasath Nadarajah]

hi,
i,m new to wordpress. i,m in the process of learning the internals of
wordpress. i checked out the latest version in the trunk and learning
to create/apply patches.
I,m wondering how can i use the automated testing tools to test
wordpress. the documentation explaining this is not clear.

1. where do i want to place the test files??
    - inside the wordpress root folder or in a seperate folder? (it
is better if anyone can a screenshot of the folder structure and
attach)
2.i.m using ubuntu and installed the LAMP stack
  when i run   $php wp-test.php it is displaying a series of errors.
(see below)

can anyone help me with how to use the automated test tools.
