Mocking | ? |
|
|
|
|
Migration | I know from browsing the documentation that there are facilities for providing mocks, and in particular data fixtures seem well supported, but I have not used any of this. |
|
|
|
|
Multi-browser | ???? (no support for explorer, edge, and mobile devices, specifically iPad) |
|
|
|
|
|| execution | I know that there is support for this, but I have not attempted to use it because so many of my tests involve making changes to the data (adding and editing courses, instructors and reserves) that they are not even in principle parallelizable. |
