And can you somehow add the ENCODEdb queries into your test so that next time there are some changes that indirectly affect the connection, you would know about it.
I believe I've fixed the problem, we'll ask Anton to make it live on the test server.
As for automated tests, it is easy to write tests for local tools or static forms, but for external sites that use dynamic features like javascript or DHTML it can be very tedious to analyze the content of each page and manually trigger the proper page updates, so that the pages look and contain the same things as when using the browser.
