unit tests are sources which need to be compiled (except for the lyx2lyx ones which do already have an own directory). I think these do not belong under lib, but somewhere under src/. > * functional-tests (run LyX on a document and compare the output to a > known example) > + test-scripts > + input # input documents for functional tests > + output # documents generated by the functional tests (empty in the > repository) + expected # example documents with expected output > > * export-tests (example documents where we just test for export errors) > (maybe also with subdirs for "topics") This makes sense. Especially the distinction between functional and export tests at the first level is very friendly to the existing testing machinery. Below that we will probably get some deeper structure in the future, but since you can only sort by one criterion at each levekl, there will always be people who disagree with the chosen directories. Therefore, we'll need alternative criteria as well which do not rely on the file system (e.g. the labels). For now I'll simply put all files in lib/test/export (I only plan to add export test for now), once we have 20 or 30 files in there we can create sub-directories, and then it might also be clear how to name these.
