Re: [Simpletest-support] SimpleTest changes for 2012

[Manuel V. <man...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Happy to see some news from the "heads" of SimpleTest.
I think we are a couple of project strongly relying on SimpleTest for our
everyday work (at least in Tuleap we are).
My question is: do you think it make sense to consider a gateway from
SimpleTest to PhpUnit ?
