Webchick Named Drupal 7 Maintainer

August 27, 2008

Angie Each release of Drupal, Dries names one individual to share the responsibility of reviewing and committing code directly to the Drupal core.

During the opening presentation at DrupalCon Szeged (August 27, 2008), Dries named the Drupal 7 Co-maintainer: Angela "webchick" Byron! Lullabot is extremely proud to have Angie as a Lullabot, and we'll be doing everything individually and as a team to help Angie make Drupal 7 the most incredible version yet.

Congratulations Angie!

Congrats! Now, to unit test or not to unit test?

You just keep impressing everyone, hey! Nice work!

I have a hard/dull/maintainer question already, sorry... What's the plan for unit testing? Any word?

Testing

Testing has been a primary focus for Drupal 7 since the beginning of the development cycle. When patches that fix bugs or change APIs are added to core, they are in most cases required to also have an accompanying test that proves the functionality has changed; depends on the nature of the change.

Drupal core is currently at ~70% test coverage:

We also have a nice list of easy(ish) tests that still need writing, if you'd like to jump in and help. :) Documentation on how to do so is available in the Drupal.org handbook at http://drupal.org/simpletest.
