What we really need is regression testing, I think that would make it
easier to convince Miller to accept patches, and would be a great

No, I haven't done much progress. The problem with that thing is that
no-one wants to do it, not even me. It's hard to consider it a priority as
much as it should be.
Regression testing is only for past bugs, but you must mean unit tests. I
would think that regression tests should be integrated with unit tests,
and that acceptance tests should also be integrated, so this is why I say
"automatic testing" in general. But I think that it's better to make
testing part of one's process right now than to wait for anybody else's
framework. The framework is secondary to actually having any kind of test.
The framework is only there to factor out common things across separate
tests.
I've been somewhat slowed down by the fact that Pd is missing some
features like automatic error trapping. It really shows that Pd was not
designed to be tested, and for that reason, it'll be hard to make a good
test suite with Pd as it is now. This is why I merged PureUnity with
DesireData.
I'd love to see that in action. :D
I'd also love to see that in action.
