First of all, thank you for your answers, your precious advices and for
having taken time to answer us.
Answers to Ben Coman :
It's our first experience with Pharo, but we'll take more time to learn this
project if it's necessary.
We're a little comfortable with the tool, we already took the time to
discover it, to do the first tutorial which is proposed when pharo is
launched, and to develop first classes and tests for learning about pharo.
We never used the TestRunner previously, we just ran our tests for our
classes yesterday.
We never submitted a code Slice for Intergration before.
We're still waiting propositions of Test or code to cover, and again thank
you for your attention.
So there was the "contractTo:" example that I provided. This provides a
simple end-to-end practice example for getting "some" code integrated
into Pharo. Try that first.
Now perhaps no one has a "list" missing tests. Either new tests get
written together with new system code, or just when people bump into
problems. Open source is about scratching your own itch, and learning
how to discover gaps is nearly as important a skill as filling them.
Did you try my recipe to find gaps? Report what you found, then it is
less of a burden for all to review and advise on those, than for us to
do this task for you.
Now an alternative recipe to find gaps is in the Browser, scroll down to
Collections-** and for various classes look in the "testing" protocol of
the third pane, then right-click of various methods and choose "Senders
of..." to see if it is sent from a test method. btw, it is just
co-incidence the protocol is called "testing". This is the general
protocol for method that return a "true or false" result. I'd chose
this to start with since it should be simpler to work out what each
method does from looking at its Senders, and how to write a test for it,
than other infrastructure methods.
Now you may find it useful to review....

Good luck with it, and I feel free to ask more questions.
