Overview

So now that you understand the basics of testing, it's time to put that knowledge to the test (heh, heh) -- and win awesome prizes!

This session is a working session for all developers to come and have fun writing tests. If you know any PHP, this session is for you!

Agenda

* All attendees break into pairs.
* Hand-outs with testing instructions will be provided, and experts on hand to run around answering questions.
* Index cards are provided with a list of Drupal core functions on them that lack tests.
* Run up, grab a card, sit down and write a test with your partner.
* When it's done, submit a patch, grab another card.
* Dorky prizes will be given away for things like most tests written, most well-written test ;), craziest function that had to be tested, etc.

Goals

The goal of this session is to provide a fun environment for people to learn the ropes of testing and contributing to core, to work directly with some of the big names in the Drupal community, and possibly to even get some actual work done! ;)

Resources

While not mandatory, you'll have an easier time in this session if you're familiar with the basics of testing. Luckily, Testing, part 1: Intro to testing will give you all the tools you need. :)
