Message-ID: <4900A06B.8020605@sift.info> (raw)
There's a page on the EmacsWiki describing schemes for unit/regression
testing in emacs lisp:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/UnitTesting
Perhaps we could pick up one of these? I haven't evaluated any of them.
In response to Ben Alexander's question, yes, sometimes the screen
output is what you care about, but a big advantage of emacs is that the
screen output is a big array of text, so we could check it (it's a lot
worse, if it's just a bit map...). Sure, we can't always do that, but I
think in many cases we could just grab up a buffer's contents and
compare it against a "right answer."
best,
