[Qucs-devel] Python test scripts for Qucs

[Guilherme B. T. <gui...@gm...>]

Hello,

I pushed some further improvements and added tests to:
https://github.com/guitorri/qucs-test

I added all schematics from qucs/examples (except the ones that are 
compressed). You can create test manually, by there is a command to 
'initialize' a test out of a Qucs schematic.

Good news is that Qucs seems to successfully run schematics as old as 
0.0.3 (see the [timestamp]_sim_result.txt).

Only 3 projects out of 61 are failing. One is a Qucs failure during 
schematic to netlist creation and 2 other are Qucstor issues, which are 
failing either at start-up or timing out transient simulations (see 
skip.txt)

The parser (thanks to Clemens) is failing to read some result files, 
therefore I am spiking then for the moment.

Richard suggested me to add these tests to the Qucs repo.
I would like to, but tomorrow I am leaving on vacations... So, see you 
guys on January.
Feel free to add it to the repo if you want, but please try to preserve 
the history.

I have further ideas like:
  * parse and report the used components on the schematic
  * report test coverage by component, by simulation type

So, please have a look a these scripts. Patches/Pull requests are welcome.

Regards,
Guilherme

Unrelated note:
This evening I will push a branch with the CMake scripts that closely 
match the currrent Autotools setup. They build both qucs and qucs-core. 
I tested them on Linux, Mac, and Windows. A few bits are missing, like 
release and debug flags. In any case if someone wish to have a look at them.
Once again, CMake is not meant to replace Autotool! Maybe in the long 
run, but then I have to convince you guys of the benefits.
