Summary: tests should not use source code as input
Product: Test Suite
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Nightly Tester
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Tests in the nightly test suite which need some input file for the test should
*not* use their own source code.
1. If the test needs to be updated this introduces another variable into the
performance.
2. If the test is being miscompiled its possible that editing the source (for
debugging) will then mask the bug, but only because the source itself is the
input.
We could have a standard set of small/medium/large inputs for the programs
which take some arbitrary input, but don't care what it is.
