Unit tests

TBC

Acceptance tests

Administrator can run Dataform acceptance tests with the Moodle behat command line tool (see https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Acceptance_testing#Running_tests).

Alternately administrator can use the Dataform Acceptance testing interface from

Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Dataform > Acceptance testing

for testing particular Dataform features by name or tags.

The current implementation of the Dataform Acceptance testing interface assumes that a selenium server is running. To run a test, select a feature or tags and click 'Run tests'. The page will hang until the tests are completed. If you run long tests it may be better to run them from a command line.
