[OpenLayers-Dev] Automated Testing

[Paul Spencer]

Tim,

I think that the non-functional modifications should exclude any  
significant change to the test framework (run-tests, auto-tests) -  
i.e. those would require a ticket and review, since we are relying on  
the test framework to tell when stuff is broken.  This would include  
the changes I made yesterday, which in hindsight I should have  
proposed and got some sort of review on.  It would not include the  
changes I made to the actual tests to accommodate Safari's CSS quirks  
though.

I also think that the trivial modifications category could be a little  
more lax unless the 'obvious typos' includes minor changes that are  
not typos?

That being said, I don't feel strongly about changing it ... but I  
don't think it captures the spirit of the change in process that Chris  
was aiming for.

Paul
