Create a presentation about SimpleTest

[GoogleCodeExporter]

SimpleTest is a framework for automated testing of code, and an important
component to the quality assurance process. However, many Drupal developers
are still unfamiliar with SimpleTest, and don't know much about it, nor its
benefits.

For this task, we ask you to learn about SimpleTest yourself and then
create a presentation that could be given at a conference to explain to
developers how SimpleTest works, how to use it in Drupal, and why it's
important.

Create a presentation that contains at least the following information:
* What is unit testing?
* What are the benefits to unit testing?
* What is SimpleTest?
* How can SimpleTest be used with Drupal?
* Code examples to show how to write tests
* References

Deliverables:
* A short presentation that talks about the benefits of SimpleTest, why
it's useful, and how it works.
* Your presentation should be in a standards compliant and easily
accessible format, such as a .pdf file.
* You should upload your presentation file as an attachment to
http://drupal.org/node/210093. The task will be considered complete when it
is marked as RTBC by a reviewer.

Resources:
* SimpleTest documentation (http://simpletest.org/en/overview.html)
* Drupal SimpleTest documentation (http://drupal.org/simpletest)
* Lullabot SimpleTest articles
(http://www.lullabot.com/articles/introduction-unit-testing and

@randy:  Would you mind also posting your comments at the d.o issue for this 
task at
http://drupal.org/node/210093

We're trying (somewhat successfully) to do internal reviews on d.o, since that's
where most of the community members hang out.  I think more people will see your
comments and perhaps be able to make feedback based on your comments better if 
we
discuss things there.  It is fine that they are here as well, and I do feel 
that you
made some excellent points.
