[Tcl-soc2008] Updating Tk test suite : project status update

[Ania P. <ani...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is a status update for the Updating Tk test suite project
by Ania Pawelczyk mentored by Jeffrey Hobbs


-----------------------------------------ABSTRACT-----------------------------------------
The Tk test system still uses primarily tcltest v1, and would benefit
from an update to tcltest v2 and a full reexamination of out-dated tests.
The test suite should gain independence from the system's settings that
test is made on. This all leads to improvement of testing capabilities.


-------------------------------PROJECT MAIN
GOALS-------------------------------
1. Bring all tests to tcltest 2.0 syntax, improve clarity, separate tests,
eliminate wrong assumtions, dependences among test cases,  etc.
2. Eliminate situations when the test fails because there were made wrong
assumptions etc.


---------------------------------CURRENT
STATUS-----------------------------------
> investigated some failing tests (link3)
> Identified and fixed fonts constraint wrong assumtion
(link1, constraints.tlc)
> realized project main goals to the following tktests
(available through link1):

bell.test
bgerror.test
bind.test
bitmap.test
border.test
button.test
cmds.test
cursor.test
dialog.test
get.test
entry.test
message.test
spinbox.test
text.test


------------------------------------------TO
DO------------------------------------------------
> realize project main goals to all the tktests, firstly mainly taking care
of updating all the tktests (PROJECT MAIN GOAL nr1)
