I see that you use HttpUnit tests in PhpWiki. However, if you'd like
automated browser-based functional/regression testing, you may be
interested in SeLite. It extends Selenium IDE. It allows your tests to
access (read and write to) a test DB (isolated from the DB of the tested
application). It's open source.

It could work very well for you, especially since PhpWiki can have its data
in an SQLite DB. SeLite uses a (separate) SQLite DB for test data, so your
test data lifecycle would be very easy. However, you can benefit from
SeLite even if your test instance of PhpWiki uses other type of DB.

Creating tests in Selenium IDE is convenient and highly productive. It
doesn't require low-level programming skills, so even users/theme designers
could contribute new tests. Tests can be maintained in SVN. See
https://code.google.com/p/selite/wiki/ProjectHome.

I could create a test framework and provide some examples. Would there be
any interest?
