*You* want to write a test suite for ConTeXt?
The test suite is there. There is even a script in the test suit
that compares the outputs of two versions at pixel level. All we
need is people to submit tests and then someone to monitor the test
suite. See
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test
Yep, I almost forgot about that ... so we have a foundation to build
on! Someone then also needs to decide on which test code conforms to
(current) valid syntax (which is probably *not* just everything that
compiles ... think of deprecated code, hacks, workarounds etc. that
aren't considered best practices).
The problem with such systems is they lead always to
incompatibilities with ConTeXt installations (think about TeXLive)
and we had one at the end of last year when Hans changed the
multilingual interface to allow a persian interface.
Loading of lua files has this feature. For modules, asking for a
minimum kernel version is no guarantee that the module will work
with future versions of ConTeXT :-)
Yes, but it's a start ...
