It could be dangerous to mix up Sandros estimation with the work for a complete QGIS test suite. QGIS is heavily GUI based which makes writing tests far more complex than writing tests for a pure data processing library like PostGIS e.g. My estimation is 2 to 3 man-years for a test coverage of 80%. Think of topologocal editing, interactive print composer, image comparison and so on. -- Pirmin Kalberer Sourcepole - Linux & Open Source Solutions http://www.sourcepole.com _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
