INTRODUCTION

Doobie is the home of Drupal.org Behavior Driven Development.

It's a collection of tests to verify the functionality of Drupal.org for pre- deployment purposes. They are written in plain English as "Features" with "Scenarios" beneath them, the outline how a piece of functionality is supposed to work. Those English descriptions can then generate skeleton code for real functionality testing.

For more background on Behat, see http://docs.behat.org

INSTALLATION

Doobie requires a Linux-based system.

Helpful installation instructions are included on the project page: http://drupal.org/project/doobie

When installation is complete, copy the default.behat.yml file to behat.yml and adjust the base url as needed.

RUNNING TESTS

To run tests, change into the doobie project directory and run:

bin/behat

This will cycle through all of the available features and scenarios and output their results.

See http://docs.behat.org/guides/6.cli.html for other, fancier ways to run tests.

FEATURES AND SCENARIOS

Human-readable features and scenarios are available in the features/ directory. The actual code for each can be found in the 'bootstrap' directory within.

A tutorial on how to write features, scenarios, and tests can be found at http://docs.behat.org/guides/1.gherkin.html
