[Simpletest-support] learning unit testing with simpletest

[Kevin N. <Cap...@un...>]

Hi there,

I've been playing with simpletest on an open source project to try and 
learn unit testing (I did something similar with JavaScript recently and 
that was quite informative).

While I was able to get some unit tests going, and they did help 
tremendously, I am looking to deepen my knowledge of unit tests and of 
code design in general. Is this an appropriate place to discuss 
something like that?

Here is what I'm using simple test for (there are very few tests in this 
right now):

The JS unit tests I did are in this project (I overdid it here, this was 
literally the first time I ever tried unit testing anything):
https://github.com/CaptainN/SignalsLite.js

I'm completely self taught, and learned almost completely alone over 12 
years from internet searches and books - I'm dying for real critical 
feedback. If anyone has any pointers for either of those code bases 
(they are both pretty small), I'd love to hear it - especially as they 
relate to restructuring code to be more unit test friendly (as is the 
focus of this list). The concepts I have trouble with are primarily 
around the differences between a unit test and an integration test.

Thanks!
