Discussion of testing theory and practice, including methodologies (such as TDD, BDD, DDD, Agile, XP) and software - anything to do with testing goes here. (Formerly "The Testing Side of Development")
That's just nuts. How many people run that intense of test over there objects, objects in PHP no less. It looks really cool and I bet you can get a ton of information from it, I just couldn't image it in production.
Someone is on the wrong path somewhere. Just tonight I refactored a Pear Package. I removed 3 of it's dependencies and ended up with 75% less code (not including the dependecies) without removing any functionality. There was a major performance boost as well. I think some of these programmers have lost their minds.
Quality assurance and system optimization I'm for, but that much information and that much effort for the amount of return you would get out of it doesn't seem worth it. At what scale of site and amount of revenue does this become reasonable?
A side note, I haven't ever had a dire need to use Pear and had found to be bloated and slow to begin with, not surprised.
