Hi!
Since CMF 2.0 I did a lot of test refactoring, changing the ways CMF
tests are set up. Goal was to use more generic and up to date testing
patterns, making it easier to write new tests.
Here is an overview what changed:
ZopeTestCase.app()
------------------
All tests that depend on a running Zope application use now
ZopeTestCase's ZopeLite app. It is not compatible with Zope2.app(), so
don't use Zope2.app() anymore. ZopeLite doesn't start up Products by
default, you have to specify required Products explicitly using
ZopeTestCase.installProduct(). Not each Product has to be initialized
that way. Don't initialize Five that way - ZCML is set up differently.
Layers
------
ZCML is set up using test layers. Their setUp() and tearDown() methods
are only run once for all tests in the layer.
Functional Tests
----------------
For functional tests that depend on a complete CMF site, you can use the
FunctionalLayers defined in the testing modules. They have to be used
with ZopeTestCase's FunctionalTestCase or FunctionalDocFileSuite test
cases. This makes sure each test gets its own DemoStorage sandbox. You
can commit changes to the site and don't have to care about the teardown.
It is now easy to set up zope.testbrowser based tests. See
CMFCalendar.browser.tests for an example.

Using Testrecorder
------------------
You can use zope.testrecorder for creating the testbrowser tests. To
make sure you have the same setup as the tests and to enforce test
translations, you can replace your etc/site.zcml by this::
<configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope";>
<include
package="Products.CMFCore"
file="testing.zcml"
/>
<include package="Products.CMFDefault"/>
<include package="Products.CMFTopic"/>
<include package="Products.DCWorkflow"/>
<include package="Products.CMFCalendar"/>
</configure>
Set up a site called 'site' and start recording.

Any questions or comments are welcome.
Cheers,
Yuppie
