Hosting Team Happenings
PHP Test Runner Multiple Submissions Project
The hosting team has started a GitHub project to improve the phpunit test runner and reporter submissions process.
A number of hosting team members have expressed a desire to be able to make multiple test report submissions from the same user. As such, the project to implement the improvements kicked off this week. The project is currently in a research phase, and volunteers are welcome!
@pfefferle mentioned that their team is “currently working on adding a shared hosting stack and are also interested in the multi submission part”
@gtaniguchi stated they feel inspired to help improve hosting pages for beginner users.
Thanks everyone!
