Automatic functional tests

You can test all your front and admin pages without writing a line of code.

Front functional test

$ php symfony test:functional front dm  

The test configuration file can be found in test/functional/front/dmTest.php

Functional test configuration

In the configuration file, we can see

require_once realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');  
 
$config = array(  
  'login'     => true,    // whether to log a user or not at the beginning of the tests  
  'username'  => 'admin', // username to log in  
  'validate'  => false,   // perform html validation on each page, based on its doctype  
  'debug'     => true,    // use debug mode ( slower, use more memory )  
  'env'       => 'test',  // sf_environment when running tests  
);  
 
$test = new dmAdminFunctionalCoverageTest($config);  
 
$test->run();  

Feel free to customize the test configuration for your needs.
