Wiki test documentation

[neilh10]

Hey eric, an idea for the wiki associated with mcuonelipse- create a framework to document tests for components. I really like your blog and postings on helpful snippets - and I wonder if there was a place for programmers to post their test results if they would? Testing is the critical end of creating software, and critical to get an idea of when something worked and under what circumstances. Posting test results to the wiki with potential issue updates - that you could accept into the mainstream would also help build collaborative skills. I would expect - but don't know - that github supports some sort of editorial revision control on wiki updates. I did it for an mbed project: http://developer.mbed.org/users/neilh20/code/kl25z_Usb_Logger/wiki/Homepage So github doesn't have a way of marking an issue a feature request/suggestion that I can see of- so hope this works for you, and just retire it with a NO if you don't like it. Project Manager after all can attract some interesting effects in dark tunnels:)

Hi Neil, yes, that Wiki allows you to do this, and the wiki on github is under version control too (like any other files on GitHub). I have done more ad-hoc tests for my components, as I do not have the bandwidth to test it like an professional (paid) software. And the GitHub issue system has the 'enhancement' type, maybe you have it missed?

Hello Eric,
My suggestion was for a wiki infrastructure that would support other
people adding test results or documentation. 
So wasn't sure what you thought of that? 
I could add something if you are OK with me proposing something
simple along the lines of the directory structures.
On the other hand - my guess is that you are really using it as a
teaching tool - and that probably needs to move it off somewhere
else for peer-to-peer .

FYI on the generation of an issue it doesn't allow enhancement on
initiation that I can see of -

but seems to allow it as a 2nd stage  - that maybe I missed and
didn't test.
So in a typical distributed team - it would then be assigned as
enhancment - and assigned to someone - eg me.    :)

Cheers

Hi Neil, maybe you could create another github repository just for that? Erich

Sure - I've got my own fork, just wanted to check in with you before
hand  :)
