Thank you for doing this. Do you want to add this as a file into the
$SAGE_SRC/sage/tests? How long does it take to run these tests on your
system?
Since they are around 1 second, you could add the test code to our tests folder with one
to a few "generic" examples
marked with "# long time". That way anyone who wants to run more stress testing
can easily do so (as opposed to, e.g.,
posting the code on your homepage).
So the use would be something like
sage: from some.place.tests import test_finite_lattice
sage: for L in big_list_of_random_lattices:
sage: test_finite_lattice(L)
sage: print("All OK")
?
This could also be used as a function to run timing benchmarks on Sage
as well.
Not really, as some tests take so much more time. But they could find a
bug-like time regression in some specific function -- if something very
odd happens and for example is_modular() takes a minute instead of few
milliseconds, it would be noticed.
