Hi!
Recently I've subscribed to cairo mailing list and I've realized that they
do a good practice that consists on add a test sample code for each bug
they find out (when possible).
I think that it would be good to have a kind of testing area in the
repository code that would consists in a list of sif files that produced a
bug in the past with its corresponding bug ID and the commit ID that fixed
it.
There should be a way to test the buggy sif files to automatically know if
they produce a good result when rendered with a new version of synfig. I'm
thinking on a md5sum operation over the rendered file and compare it to the
good md5sum one provided on the test area. But I'm worried that between
architectures and platforms there could be some non significant differences
that would make the md5sum different.
The idea is that someone does 'make tests' it would render all the buggy
files and then would do the test comparison and give a result of all OK or
what did fail.
Do you like the idea? Does anyone know another way to preform a test for
the synfig render operation?
Apart of the buggy files there could be some basics samples (for each
primitive and filter for example) that could be tested to continue
confirming that the render is looking fine.
For testing the 32/64 bits and different platforms involved I think that we
can do some tests by sending here or in the forum, sample render image
results from a basic shape and do the md5sum for all of them to see what
happen.
I hope you make some comments on this. I think it would help us to make a
better and consistent coding along the time.
Cheers!
Carlos
