Test

Testing, and frequent testing is important to the development and uptake of PhpGedView. Testing helps to minimise the occurrence of bugs as well as help stopping them from resurfacing at a later date.

SimpleTest can be used to write unit tests of classes.

GEDCOM

The GEDCOM 5.5 Torture Test Files are valid but odd and confusing GEDCOMs that are useful in debugging problems with PhpGedView. It would be great if developers who made changes to PhpGedView to accommodate uncommon and weird GEDCOMs that are valid, update this file so that it can help other applications improve their GEDCOM support.

TODO: have a publicly available PhpGedView install that uses the Torture Test GEDCOM for testing. The PhpGedView modified GEDCOM should be submitted back to the author of the test. See [1]

CSS

There is a lot of optimization needed in the CSS code being used in PhpGedView. Many classes are redundant and a lot of streamlining is needed.

The CSS Optimizer can be used to reduce the size of the CSS files prior to a release. We should keep the original as is, and run them through this free online tool before release to greatly reduce the size of the files. Keeping the newlines option in the tool, will allow developers to still read the CSS and get ideas for better optimization (though it might not be in a format that we want to keep).

Another available tool is Formatter and Optimiser.
