Alright guys, I think it would be a good start to select an application and try to start writing tests with it. It seems like GLib's testing environment should be satisfactory (see this: http://blog.remysaissy.com/2012/11/setting-up-unit-tests-in-vala-project.html); however, Vala's development environment is too complicated for me (a Vala noob) to get a project set up for tests. If someone would be willing to volunteer to get GLib's testing set up for Noise (or something else if they so desire) including a quick example test (so those of us with testing--but not Vala--experience can have a starting point), I would be willing to start writing tests and working with the project's primary developer(s) to get them started toward Test Driven Development (other developers with TDD experience also expressed interest).
This project could serve as a test to see how well TDD can work for elementary, and, if the experiment is deemed successful, it could serve as a model for other projects as well. The above is the tl;dr version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My "vision" for this experiment is that someone can set up Noise (or some other project) for testing, and then I (and/or other volunteers) can start writing a few tests for it and sort of coach the developers in TDD for the purpose of getting the developers to a self-sufficient state before potentially moving onto another project and doing the same. Thoughts?
