Drupal Acceptance/QA Testing with Selenium - Screencast
Posted October 6th, 2008 by Caleb G
Background
For the past 6 months I've been lucky to be part of the development team for the newly launched Yoursphere.com, a Drupal-powered social networking site which "provides one of the safest online destinations for youth ages 9 through 18 to interact*". To say that Yoursphere is the most customized Drupal site I've worked on would be quite an understatement. One example of that, and subject of this article, the user registration system went from the standard single page - to one which uses 4 unique user creation forms which are integrated within several possible 'registration flows'. The most complex of these involves two of the user creation forms, 8 total screens and third-party identity verification.
Besides being an opportunity to get to know hook_user real well, at the end of creating this system we were left with a larger-than-normal nightmare of, "Wow, I wonder if my new small change just exploded the entire registration system for the site. Hmmmmmm."
