Thanks for your reply!! There are a lot of tests, but I don't know if they test everything and in how far. I agree that it is good practice to write test-routines I did not want to hold anyone responsible for something, I do not know much about the settings in which the code is developed. I just want to know what the state at this moment is. I guess that developers read this list, and they can tell in how far the code is stable and how close it is to a useable product. - If they tell me that I better wait some time, then I can save myself the trouble of spending a lot of effort trying to understand something which will probably change. - But it is also possible that they tell me that there are large parts which are very stable and useable, but there and there is something which will change. If this is the case, I can start a project of building an implementation of the good parts, if other people financial will allow me to do that, which again depends on the current state. This is the kind of information which I am hoping to get.with my question Regards Bert Verhees - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
