I don't know of a single open-source project with more than one or two developers which doesn't have a suite of regression tests. In fact, I know of a number of OSS projects which *will not* accept a patch unless tests accompany it. Once a codebase grows beyond a one-person pet project, tests become increasingly necessary for maintainability. -- Avdi Home: http://avdi.org Developer Blog: http://avdi.org/devblog/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/avdi Journal: http://avdi.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
