!! Executive Summary
Tiki Profiles Tester is a tool to automate the testing of ((doc:Profiles|Tiki Profiles)) for various Tiki versions. And thus, it helps the Tiki community detect issues, like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing_(software)|Smoke testing].

!! How to see in action
It catches profile validation errors and adds them as information on this dashboard: https://tikiwiki.gitlab.io/ci-helpers/tiki-profiles-tester/

!! Code
* https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/ci-helpers/tiki-profiles-tester

!! Status
As of 2026-09: The script is stable but there should be a clean up on old profiles.

!! How to update
* --It runs-- it is planned that it will run once per week. It also runs anytime someone modifies the code. As of 2023-02-14, it takes about 30 minutes to run all tests.

!! Questions
* What should be domain name for https://tikiwiki-ci.gitlab.io/tiki-profiles-tester/?
** profiles-tester.tiki.org ?
** tiki-profiles-tester.tiki.org ?

!! Ideas for the future
* Run for each commit, as part of the CI
* Run other tests like ((doc:TikiTests))
* Visit wiki pages like the ones generated by http://profiles.tiki.org/Test_All_Plugins 
* Have a way to test a specific branch / merge request (will save time from developers who are reviewing merge requests)
* ((dev:System Features))
* Alert specific people of errors
* Connect to ((Dev:GlitchTip))
