[QGIS-Developer] What to do about WFS test failures?

[Jonathan Moules]

I'd suggest based on Tom's post that the work should include some sort 
of reliable way of testing the WFS client (and of course full test 
coverage) - I don't know if GeoServer is Docker-happy these days, but 
the default install in a VM should be sufficient for the task (it comes 
with test layers) - although GeoServer doesn't support WFS-T for writing.

Cheers,
Jonathan
