Hi Guys, Thanks so-much for all the feedback on the Regression Testing thread - I think we can easily conclude that everyone feels it's a good idea.
Secondly, I think it's also safe to conclude that people wish to regression test the UI as well as the WorkerFunctions. I really liked Frank's idea of macro recording for the test suite. It seems like a really neat way of writing tests - it just depends what we're looking to test because the test needs some sort of output that we can check. I think the next stage for introducing a Regression Testing suite is to start a new branch, and start experimenting. I will start by using the CTest & the Boost Test library (Handy that we now have all the boost headers in place BTW!) Boost Test: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html If anyone wants, they could set-up a separate branch to test other ideas for a regression test suite. It may be that both UI and Worker Function testing use different methods to run and evaluate the outcome of tests. Nothing will happen too quick, but at least we know we're heading towards having regression testing. For the moment, I am still working on the python-a-mingw-us installer and ultimately Windows Python scripting. I should be committing that soon. Best Regards, Brian.
