Now that we're closing in on our 2.0.0 release (maybe in February according to the 2.0 release manager), and we need to start looking to the future. One of the things we really want to focus on for the next release is a major rewrite/refactor. If we do this right, we can get Koha test-infected, and make the development run even more quickly than it already does. To really make this work, we're going to need to get a lot better at testing. I think there are two keys to this. First, I'd like to recruit someone to work as the testing manager. (I need to come up with a better title than 'manager' -- I'm afraid it scares people off.) Second, I'd love to find a couple more developers with some solid testing background, who are willing to volunteer their time on a cool FOSS project. The manager will need to be able to help outline unit and functional test suites, plan and run useability and acceptance tests, and coordinate with the 2.2 release manager to ensure that 2.2 is squeaky clean when it gets released. The developers should be solid Perl hackers who really grok testing. Being able to create tests from developer input, user input, system docs, and bug reports is going to be a key to making this process work correctly. If you match the above descriptions, and are interested in volunteering, please feel free to drop me a note at kaitiaki@koha.org.
