[Wtr-general] Handling multiple versions of a website [advice

[John Lolis]

Great advice so far, and thank you for the link to the article.

The idea of testing the testing framework is very interesting! I guess it would be really straight forward to write a basic test that jumps into the framework, and just does a very basic probe making sure no exception gets thrown. 

This would also avoid the problem of a method in a class getting 'stale'. For example if I write a class today and the test that uses it is removed from rotation (for whatever reason). The 'tester' script would inform me when it breaks (as opposed to a tester writing a script only to find the desired class broken).

Thanks again, and I welcome any more ideas people have. I've been reading every article I can get my hands on and it seems to be helping me avoid the standard pitfalls (I hope).
