Though while our current test suite does cover some cases, I have found that the live-data are by far better regression tests. They have a lot of "interesting cases" left in them that has not been coverted to minimal tests. So for actual changes to Britney2, I would highly recommend also running them. Though I am not sure how useful they are to SAT-Britney (beyond performance testing), since the "expected" result is currently tailored for Britney2[1]. [1] Where "tailored" was the output of Britney2 a while back. It works for finding unexpected "output changes". > I've tried to enhance the situation by splitting the repository and > creating a new one for the live-data tests. > > [...] > > For your convenience, I've added a small paragraph about > britney-tests-live-data.git in the README file in britney2-tests.git > > If we find this useful, we can replace the current britney-tests.git > with britney2-tests.git. > > Comments are welcome. > > Best, > I believe it would be counter productive for us to have two "active" test repositories (e.g. people committing to the wrong repository), so I have disabled our "old" one (with a note). ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
