This - is very helpful, because in the course of developing the software it - is very common to introduce bugs in existing code. A test suite - helps us fix the bugs as soon as they are introduced. - -** Class Library Tests - - All classes in Mono libraries should have comprehensive unit test - suites to go with them. Unit testing is a software engineering - methodology that makes it easier to build correct code. Every - method in every class should have a set of tests to verify - that they work correctly. Mono also needs a testing framework - to make it easy to write and run lots of tests. - - Try <a href="http://nunit.sourceforge.net">NUnit</a> - - Why do unit testing? It becomes simple to run automated tests - for the whole library. Unit tests are a safety net - you can - change part of the code and verify that you haven't broken - anything. Ideally, tests are written before the actual library - code itself. And every time a bug is discovered, a test should - be written to demonstrate the bug and its fix. Then, if - you ever reintroduce the bug, you will know immediately. For - more info, read <a - href="http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htm"> - JUnit Test Infected: Programmers Love Writing Tests</a>. - - -** Getting Started - - We welcome all contributions to the Class Libary Test Suite. - - There is information to help you get started in CVS at - mcs/class/doc/NUnitGuidelines. Once you have written your test, please - post it to <a href="mailing-lists.html">mono-list</a>. - - Someone will make sure to add the file or apply the patch as - appropriate. If you plan to be an on-going contributor and - would like to get cvs account, email <a href="mailto:miguel@ximian.com">miguel</a>. - - Normally, after you send a couple of well-written new files - and/or patches to the list, you will be given cvs access. - |
