Test Framework #57

Closed wweic closed 11 years ago

wweic commented 11 years ago

It's weird when I merge code without test. If it compiles, it passes.

How to write test cases for a graph algorithm? Generate a small graph, run the engine, and examine the final graph? We need some examples for application developers.

thinxer commented 11 years ago

Should we use a mature testing framework, such a gtest, which is very big (the zipped source is 1.1MB), or use some homebrew solutions, such as something like this: http://leveldb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/util/testharness.h ?

wweic commented 11 years ago

I am not sure.

I prefer lightweight solution, cause sophisticated tool always brings complexity, maybe not for us, but for other developers. And we don't have to guarantee the exact correctness of algorithm, but for the infrastructure we build: graph, engine.

The test of algorithm should be done manually by the algorithm writer.

I agree with you. I'll try to use leveldb's test module.

Implemented with #58.
