Hello all,
Many of the open tickets have 'tests' as pending work items. I'd like to help out. Is there any
available documentation on:
* how to run the test framework on one's own machine? either all or part
* how to construct a test
Here is one the first presentation about it: <https://www.rexxla.org/presentations/2006/ronyf2.pdf>,
it can be found together with the article at <https://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/orx17/>, namely
<https://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/orx17/2006_orx17_ooRexxUnit-article.pdf>.
Note, the test framework got changed, enhanced ever since then. One notable difference to the above
slides and article is the position of the assertion message: rather than being the first argument
(which is where the Java framework placed it and which I kept such that any documentation about
Java's testunit could be applied/transferred to the ooRexx test framework 1:1), it has become the
last argument. The reason being that these messages may be left out as they are optional and the
assertion would be mostly self-documentary.
Skimming over the slides and/or the article may be helpful to get some more insights about the
overall architecture.
