Re: [Ocaml-lib-devel] Future of ExtLib

[Janne H. <ja...@hy...>]

Hi all,

I am willing to help if you have any trouble with the existing ExtLib 
tester.  I think the assertion mechanism is easy to use and easy to 
understand, but of course I'm biased since I wrote the suite.

extlib-test/readme.html has a some documentation on how to make new tests.

When I embarked on writing the test suite, I was more interested in 
making the actual tests rather than discussing on what kind of a 
framework to use for the tests.

Perhaps someone could clarify what is gained by using OUnit instead of 
the current suite?  I personally feel that the real test cases are what 
counts, not the testing framework.

Best regards,
Janne
