I don't agree that would be enough - having tests that assualt the CTORs
w/ combinations of crap to see what happens isn't a bad thing. Not a
fun thing to write, but certainly not something I vote on throwing away
if someone wrote it already.
They were not written, they were generated. And I suspect that if we change
some options to test generator then it can generate as many tests as you
have
free space on your hard drive. Do we need them all in the test suite?
My question is given that so far we had ~7500 tests against all the API do
we need 5000+ tests against a single trivial constructor?
Are there really 5000+ tests against *one* CTOR?
Why do you see a problem?
The problem is test execution time.
Then pitch what you think isn't needed. <shrug> Any other thoughts?
I think that it's misleading to trust only that getters return what's
passed in...
Sorry, I did not catch
I mean that you had suggested that we'd be ok by testing to see if
getters (getXxxx()) returned what was passed into a CTOR correctly, and
I thought that wasn't a safe assumption.
