I am wondering about the possibility of automated testing of Base, particularly ODBC functionality.
The first question here is how to attach LibreOffice to a database for the tests. For ODBC, I can imagine setting up data sources with magic names, something like LO_test_* or LO_autotest_* or something. The data source can encapsulate identificatino of the database and credentials for access to the database, so the credentials need not be published. The existence of the data source says to run the available tests. (This does not allow for tests applicable only to particular data sources.) Does this make sense, at least to the extent of being worth thinking about? Locally installed databases raise questions, and the only answers that come to mind boil down to a poor man's substitute for an ODBC data source plus a driver manager plus who-knows-what. Is there anything here worth thinking about? Thank you for your attention and advice.
