Write Simpletest tests for Content translation module

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Drupal 6 supports content (node) translation out of the box with the 
included content translation module. This task is to write unit tests to 
ensure this functionality works.

The Simpletest module provides a framework for running automated unit
tests in Drupal. Unit testing involves taking a small portion of code, a
unit, and subjecting it to programmatic tests to prove its correctness.
This can be extremely useful to help insure that new code does not
introduce bugs into existing functionality. Thus, having a full suite of
unit tests for Drupal 6.x core functionality using the Simpletest module
would be a major step forward for the project and would help insure that
only high-quality code is committed. In addition to helping developers
test their code, new tests for core Drupal functionality will be used for
automated testing by http://testing.drupal.org.

For this task, you need to first install and familiarize yourself with the
simpletest module (use the cvs HEAD version with Drupal HEAD/6.x RC):
http://drupal.org/project/simpletest
http://drupal.org/simpletest
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/introduction-unit-testing

The main work for this task is to write a small suite of tests to check
the functionality of translation module with a test site setup to have at
least two languages and both locale and translation module enabled. The
test case should:
* set the Story content type to be multilanguage enabled with translation
* create a story in one of the languages
* submit a translation of the story in one of the other languages
* update the original story and mark the translation outdated
* update the translation and mark it as up-to-date

Proper validation of your new tests will ideally include changing the
Drupal core code to break the tested functionality and then confirming
that your tests report a failure. Ideally, post each such change as a
patch to help the reviewers.

This suite should be written as a single .test file and should achieve
RTBC status at http://drupal.org/node/207385

I forgot to mention: a very very crude start for the tests can be created from 
the 
browser with http://drupal.org/project/simpletest_automator -- generated tests 
need 
serious cleanup and editing.
