Re: [xmlvm-users] XMLVM and JUnit

[Sascha H. <sa...@xm...>]

Hi guys,

very good point Ilya. We are actually current working on a strategy to add
tests to XMLVM. It has been on my list for quite a while, but I didn't get
to it.

Cross-compiling tests does make sense, for the reasons you have mentioned.
Not only will it test whether the cross-compilation is working correctly,
but also whether hans-written compatibility classes are doing what they are
supposed to do.

Right now we have a few demos and we ask committers to make sure that these
still work. But it's tedious. Being able to run one command that does all
the testing automatically and returns either "Go" or "No go" would be much
better.
