Phing build system

Currently we use phing as build system and it makes it easy to run the unit tests or build the translation files for example.

Execute phing#

You can execute phing in the root directory of each repository. Depending on the repository, there are different phing targets available and you should have a look into the build.xml file to find out their name and what tasks they perform. In the Aimeos core, you can also execute phing in the subdirectories which contains a build.xml file too. Then, only the tasks related to these sub-directory are executed.

The most important targets for you are "setup" to populate the database and "test" to find out, if everything is still working as it should: 

phing setup
phing test

If you would like to test the Aimeos core on your hardware you can use target "setupperf" to write performance test data to the database and browse through the "Perfomance" site in the front end. You will have to activate the performance site in the administration interface.
