[Zope-Coders] testrunner.py vs. test.py

[Lennart Regebro]

Some sort of official way to write and run tests that cover both Zope and
CMF is desperately needed. It's currently a mess.

I propose shipping ZopeTestCase with Zope 2.8, if the author agrees, and
making tha the official way. Some work may be needed to move current CMF
tests over to ZopeTestCase, I guess...
