Create new simpletest tutorial example

Since we're adding tests to all the example module anyway, what might be better is instead of having that attached example module there, say "The Examples Module project contains many smaller modules with tests written." or something like that.

I would say yes. Also, I'm considering changing the group in each .test file to a more generic one: "Example modules" or something like that, instead of a group for each module.

ideas?

Actually the mymodule in the SimpleTest example (mymodule.module) is a glorified simplified version of node_example.module. So I don't think it requires bringing in that example. Maybe just integrating the mymodule.test with node_example.test. But I don't think we need to add another module.

One of the things I like from myexample.test is that introduces unit tests. I guess we can include some unit tests in each example module for the functions that are not hooks (or even the hooks).. but I'm unsure that this has to be done in any .test file. The ugly part is that if we choose one (node_example is a good candidate) we should notice to the developer that this one includes a test file deserving special attention. Otherwise I would prefer having a specific simpletest example module.

@rfay: I agree that each simpletest file should be shipped in each module directory. When I talked about regrouping them, I was talking about the simpletest getInfo() information:

  public static function getInfo() {
    return array(
      'name' => 'Batch example functionality',
      'description' => 'Verify that defined batches and its consistency in the database.',
      'group' => 'Batch example',
    );
  }

If each test defines a different group, we will finish with 10 or 15 'example' cagetories, rather than a "Examples" category.

+1 for making all the tests 'group' => 'Examples'
