# Framework Test Module
## Introduction
Aids core and module developers in testing their code against
a set of sample data and behaviour.
* Shows all core form fields, including their disabled and readonly state
* Shows sample GridField instance including data
* Creates sample members (to efficiently test SecurityAdmin)
* Creates a sample ModelAdmin instance (available at `admin/test`)
* (Optional) Three-step process for the [multiform](http://www.silverstripe.org/multi-form-module/) module
* (Optional) Sample page for the [tagfield](http://www.silverstripe.org/tag-field-module/) module
* (Optional) Sample page for the [recaptcha](http://www.silverstripe.org/recaptcha-module/) module
## Usage
Simply running `dev/build` will take care of most sample data setup.
In order to use any of the optional test behaviour targeted at modules,
install the module and remove the `_manifest_exclude` file from the relevant folder.
For example, to test the tagfield module, remove the `frameworktest/code/tagfield/_manifest_exclude` file.
## More sample data
The module creates some default pages for different CMS behaviours.
The CMS is intended to be perform well with a couple of thousand pages.
If you want to test the CMS behaviour for a large and nested tree,
the module includes a simple generator task: `dev/tasks/FTPageMakerTask`.
It will create 3^5 pages by default, so takes a while to run through.
## Requirements
The module is intended to run against the latest core codebase,
but also includes branches matching earlier core releases for backwards compatibility.
