1 - Thanks for welcoming me :)
2 - I generally use the FreeBSD license. In any case, QuickSmash has no
license for now.
3 - QuickSmash is an interesting approach to unit testing.
The idea is to test "properties", which are lambdas in Lisp and closures in
Smalltalk.
One property is a closure that accepts an integer and evaluates whether the
integer is even. Call it "propEven".
Another property checks whether an encryption system works, by checking s =
decrypt(encrypt(s)).
QuickSmash has a class method testProperty:withGenerators: that generates
100 test cases for the property. If a test case fails, QuickSmash stops
checking and reports the values which fail to exhibit the property.
Example:
"Are all strings reversible?"
propReversible := [ :s | s = (s reverse) reverse].
QuickSmash testProperty: propReversible withGenerators: { [ QuickSmash
genString. ] }.
If you install QuickSmash and evaluate the above code, you'll see the
output:
+++ OK, passed 100 tests.
I'm only just familiar with GNU Smalltalk, but installing QuickSmash is
fairly simple.
$ git clone https://github.com/mcandre/quicksmash.git
$ make
(The make command runs gst-package, which loads the package and saves the
image).
