View source for PDT/Testing Framework

== Background ==

'''"Testing: Early, Often and Automated"''' (Extreme Programmin Explained by KENT BECK)<br>
The PDT team has accepted the XP ([http://www.extremeprogramming.org/]) two principles to increase the cost-effectiveness of testing: double checking and the Defect Cost Increase.<br>
We release the "PDT test framework" that helps us write unit tests for PDT in a very fast way.
<p>
"The sooner you find a defect, the cheaper it is to fix".


== Resources ==
Unit tests for PDT plug-ins can be found under /gitroot/tools/org.eclipse.pdt/tests module. The convention is the following:
{|border="1"
! Plug-in Name !! Unit Test Plug-in Name
|-
| org.eclipse.php.core || org.eclipse.php.core.tests
|}

== Running Unit Tests ==
Each Unit Test plug-in has its own AllTests suite. For running the suite at once right click on it, then select: Run As -> JUnit Plug-in Test. Each test can be run independently in the same manner.
