We hold our plugins to a high quality standard so it’s a must but manual tests are brain-numbingly tedious and can take hours of expensive developer time.

Enter, me + my beginnings of automating the acceptance testing process.
Will it work? Will it save us from hours of brain-numbing manual tests? Will we be better off? Will it all be a fruitless effort?
Read on for more about how the automation of testing our plugins ahead of release is shaping up – including how we manually tested in the past and a look at some of the automated acceptance tests we’ve already implemented.
