Testing framework

Extensions usually need to support two LTS versions of TYPO3 in parallel,
|
||
|
|
assuming that they should support all currently supported TYPO3 LTS versions.
|
||
|
|
To achieve this, there are two different approaches, which also affect the
|
||
|
|
choice of a testing framework for unit and functional tests.

Approach 1: One branch for many TYPO3 LTS versions
|
||
|
|
==================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this approach, there is one main branch that gets new features. It needs to
|
||
|
|
support two TYPO3 LTS versions in parallel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The downside is that this slightly increases code complexity as
|
||
|
|
version-dependent code switches might be necessary. The upside is that there
|
||
|
|
is only one branch to maintain, which makes adding new features (and all other
|
||
|
|
code changes) a lot less of a hassle.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `Nimut testing framework <https://github.com/Nimut/testing-framework>`__
|
||
|
|
can support multiple TYPO3 versions at a time, and
|
||
|
|
it provides version-independent abstractions for testing, making it the perfect
|
||
|
|
companion for this approach.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the approach that we have chosen for this extension as we do not want
|
||
|
|
to maintain two branches in parallel.

Approach 2: One branch per TYPO3 LTS version
|
||
|
|
============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this approach, there are two main branches that get new features in
|
||
|
|
parallel. Each branch supports exactly one TYPO3 LTS version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The upside is that this slightly decreases code complexity as
|
||
|
|
version-dependent code switches are not necessary. The downside is that there
|
||
|
|
are two branches to maintain, which makes adding new features (and all other
|
||
|
|
code changes) more of a hassle.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For this approach, the
|
||
|
|
`TYPO3 testing framework <https://github.com/TYPO3/testing-framework>`__
|
||
|
|
- which supports only one TYPO3 LTS version at a time - will work just fine.
