As far as i know, the parser Tests never were (And still aren't) considered broken. It was the automated system that ran them and uploaded the results to mw:special:code that was broken. Of course, the newer Phpunit test's of course have more scope then the plain old parser tests. Bawolff (talk) 04:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, AFAIK, it was the system of parser tests that was broken, rather than the tests themselves. (I have reworded the article to make this clearer.)Parser tests obviously serve a very useful function :) The fact that a full range of unit tests is now available is a good thing nonetheless. - Jarry1250 ^{[Weasel?
