To date, I've taken an ad hoc approach to testing new Ptolemy actors I've written: I draft the Java implementation, put together a simple MoML model (source + new actor + sink), and inspect the output. I would rather have a more disciplined approach (possibly with JUnit), but I'm not sure how to instantiate suitable a "minimal" Ptolemy runtime, and I couldn't find any examples in the ptII-4.0.1-src tree.
Ptolemy developers (both at UCB and in the community at large): what sorts of "best practices" have you evolved for developing and testing your Ptolemy actors (including/in addition to unit tests)? Are there example test cases in the Ptolemy source distribution that I didn't see on first inspection? Thanks, Andy Z. ----- Andrew Zimdars Modeling, Simulation, and Information Sciences (Org.
