Hey,
I do not really have the time to read the whole conversation, but a few
points:
An unfinished article on the subject (lack of time, etc...):

I have already implented a few tests in the past
Hello everyone,
I'm curious what you devs do for testing? I'm not particularly familiar
with Vala, but I'm learning a lot about testing at work and I'm trying to
develop myself to that end in my free time. I'm sending this email because
I'd like to get a pulse on what you Elementary devs think
Individual comment from a non-dev who has just observed devs: it would seem
we have no formal testing policy but that we gravely need one. Code is
developed and requested to be merged by dev A, then dev B looks the code
itself over. Hopefully at this point dev B would then build it and test the
Yes, testing is sorely needed.
I started down the path of finding the best solution for Vala Unit Testing,
but couldn't find any great options. Currently, all projects that pursued
the xUnit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit) model for Vala have fallen
out of development and only their shells
Unit testing is boring to write so if we just said Everybody. Write unit
tests. All Projects. Now. it would really take on. On companies and when
developers are paid to work, they can write and put tests everywhere, but
it's harder for us.
For now what we just do is we test the interface, the new

We also had a regression on Granite the other day. It goes I fixed this
bug and I tested that bug but then I didn't test crazy-weird behaviour and
it turned out it broke some things. Of course, action has been taken to fix
it, but it can't be merged yet.

David,
I understand where you're coming from and I have worried about that in the
past. There are two approaches for Unit Testing.
The strong approach is to figure out what you want the app to do (i.e.
design the framework), describe that app's functions and libraries using
tests, then write

Sergey, that looks very interesting, although I'm a little confused--what
are the differences between your first link and Glimpse?
My first link is my scripts for easily testing code proposed for merging. I
created them to offload the burden of testing
I strongly recommend anyone interested in automated testing to read through
Martin Pitt's Ubuntu Dev Week session on the topic. He's the one
responsible for most of unit testing in Ubuntu (he's also the author of
Apport which we already use). His IRC nick is pitti and the session logs
can be found
Here is another practical post I found interesting regarding setting up
Unit Tests in Vala with Cmake:

I apologize for spamming the mailing list.

We do unit and behavorial testing at where i work, and i think it's great.
Writing tests before you develop the actual feature really makes you think
why your feature should do what and when it should do so.
Maybe we could build vala tests for granite. That would mean we would have
to write tests

Not only that, but I imagine it would garner quite a lot of
Craig, thanks to make everything more clear.
Unit test is not just having something to compare stuff but we need a great
mocking system. Does anyone have links for that as well?

If we can get a number of experienced test practitioners and Vala
developers to commit to it, I wouldn't mind contributing to a test

I would be interested but I'm not the best vala developer for sure.

I'm not so sure we need a solution bound to Vala specifically, because:
1. We have automated UI testing covered by Ubuntu's regression testing
framework
2. We have D-bus testing coverted by Ubuntu's regression testing
framework
3. Vala translates to C so we can use a C unit testing
Sergey, how do you write code in Vala and write tests in C? it becomes too
difficult for a developer, don't you think?

Nor am I. But I think the first step would be to explore what can be done
with the existing tools (assuming there are any that are still supported).
I find that I rarely need much more than a simple facility with the ability
to create test cases and do setup/teardown so if we can find anything
Hello everyone,
As many of you probably already know, we are now building ISOs again. This
is great news, of course, but we need some testers for a couple of things
on the new builds.
1. NVIDIA fixes
2. UEFI boot
First of all, you can find the new ISOs
Hi everyone,
so finally I got a pure Gtk implementation of a dynamic notebook pretty
much ready. It would be great if you'd try to integrate it in your apps to
see if it works properly. If it does, it will go to granite.
You can find it at *
