The "correctness" issue is broader that windmill. I think there is a lot of needless repetition in the tests, just like most stories/pagetests. The PPA title test I changed a few days ago is an example. It uses a help to test the behaviour of the widget. The helper is used in two other tests. We test each configuration once, but the widget's behaviour is tested 3 times. I do not need to test the configurations in windmill, I can do that in a python unittest. I would be satisfied to test the widget behaviour in fake page that acts as a harness for the required markup. -- __Curtis C. Hovey_________ http://launchpad.net/
