[Radioactive-quality] unit testing

[Shaun R. <sha...@ra...>]

Hey everyone,

I am not sure if we are too early into the development cycle to start thinking 
about unit testing, but I want to always be keeping things like this in the 
back of my head so when it comes time to unit test we are not wondering what 
direction to go in.  Here is a real quick summary of some things I think 
about on unit testing.
-should be done by the developers.  Generally in the past, as a rule of thumb 
I have not unit tested my own code.  The more sets of eyes on a piece of 
code, the more stable it will be.  
-someone from the quality ensures that unit testing is done on every line of 
code.
-it seems we are leaning towards java, and if that is the case, does anyone 
have experience with JUnit?  I don't, but have been trying to play with it a 
bit.

I have lots of other thoughs on unit testing, so perhaps we can talk about 
this more over IRC in the next couple of weeks.  Any suggestions are more 
than welcome.  There are alos other quality subjects I want to talk about 
(regression testing etc.), and will send out other emails so we can get 
threads on each sub -topic we discuss over time.

Thanks,
Shaun
