It inherits the codebase from theme_boost and overwrites and extends several behaviours and functions. Doing this, code duplication couldn't be avoided. If there are any upstream changes in theme_boost, you should check if they should be adopted to this theme as well. + + +Automated tests +--------------- + +* The theme has a good coverage with Behat tests which test most of the theme's user stories. + + +Manual tests +------------ + +* There aren't any manual tests needed to upgrade this plugin. +* However, if you look at the Behat feature file, you will see that there are some scenarios still commented out. If you have time, you should test them manually or write a Behat test for it. + + +Visual checks +------------- + +* As this is a theme, you should have a close look at all functionalities of the theme and all major Moodle GUI pages to make sure that everything is displayed nicely and correctly. -- GitLab
