4ba31dd1f0f5 doc: documentation for testing in new `contributing` section Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	160 specify Python code to execute to modify the received text with the ``set_filter``

4ba31dd1f0f5 doc: documentation for testing in new `contributing` section Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	175 To make the tests as easy to write as possible, and as natural to read as possible, the
4ba31dd1f0f5 doc: documentation for testing in new `contributing` section Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	176 higher level `Helium`_ Python module is used. Thanks to it, the tests can read pretty much
4ba31dd1f0f5 doc: documentation for testing in new `contributing` section Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	177 like instructions we would give to a human user. Helium makes also easy to do some tasks
4ba31dd1f0f5 doc: documentation for testing in new `contributing` section Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	178 more complicated with Selenium alone, like dropping a file to an element.
