This is a list of manual tests I perform every time I test Drupal 6.x core. I figure this is maybe a good start for things that we should have unit tests for. If nothing else, it provides a checklist for people who make changes to other modules of things to try to ensure they still work. Please feel free to add to this list!
Common things to check for:
- Visible errors (notices, warnings, etc.)
- Broken functionality
- "White screens of death (WSOD)" - Basically a completely blank screen when you go to a page.
- Regressions (when something used to work in a previous version of Drupal and no longer does)
- Broken links
- Incomplete or unclear help text/descriptions
- Typos in text, comments or code.
