I'd like to see us figure out a way to use PyObjC or some other
similar technology to do tests that are like our layout tests. This
would be superior to actual Objective-C because we wouldn't have to
compile all the test programs. Recently I've been seeing an
increasing number of bugs in our Objective-C DOM and wanting tests
that could regression test that the way our layout tests can do
regression tests for JavaScript and HTML issues.
Anyone interested in this? Any thoughts on whether it's practical?
Since you mentioned DOM in particular, Andrew Clover wrote a Python
interpreter for the DOM Test Suite (http://www.doxdesk.com/software/
py/domts.html).
It would also be possible to generate Python (or Objective-C) test
code from the DOM Test Suite. I thought that it might be preferable
for debugging to actually do it as compiled Objective-C since it
could be easier to step through from the test code to the
implementation.
