The yearly update of the phpunit initiative

After officially launching the PHPUnit initiative on 2016-11-05 we made a huge amount of progress:

• We tried to convert many tests by simply moving and renaming them in an automated way. This moved 30% of the tests over “without” any hassle
• After that we work on conversion per module base
• We identify common problems and extract them into their own issue
• We added extensive BC layer to make conversions as painless as possible
• Show the graph with the number of test types since 8.1.0 from the website, everybody loves a good graph
• Expanded core dev team interested in conversion.

This is how you can help:

• Improve documentation.
• Upgrade path tests conversion.
• Reduce random fails in js Tests.
• Remove webtest craft once conversion are done.
• Update phpunit library.
• Help contrib module
• Better UI

• Deprecate simpletest
• Coverage reports

• JS testing in js
• JS functional testing.
• JS unit testing.
• JS test runner.

• PhantomJS webdriver
• APITestBase
• Headless Drupal testing.
• Headless chrome driver.
