When it comes to testing I will also put forward my meager attempt on
beginnging to create test cases (please expand on them and create new
ones).
So far only for a few helper functions, but we should be able to do it
for larger subsystems as well. should help us avoid (stupid) regressions.
src/support/tests/
src/frontends/controllers/tests/
More of tests like this would be very welcome.
And: test cases should be automatic if at all possible. So if we have to
implement some new features in LyX to make that possible we should do so. And
f.ex. a replay feature, could be greate for other stuff (demos?) as well.
