Sure.

Are there any test cases to verify that such frameworks are working as
expected in phpgw ?

One example of things that broke when we tried and connect to another DB
(on 0.9.16) inside some classes (for interaction with Sympa's DB) were
locks on tables... suddenly there were locks reported on wrong tables,
and a big mess. After removing the connection to Sympa's DB and using
SOAP instead to interface with Sympa, all the phpgw code was much
healthier.

Please make solid foundations (including test classes) so that things
like DB API are robust and tested ;)
