Testing #3

Closed Uplink036 closed 3 days ago

Uplink036 commented 1 week ago

Is testing important to this project? I genuinely don't know, I kind of want it, but am so new to C# that I don't know what is good. Should we do our own minimal unit test or find a framework? If so, which? Here is a discussion for it. This should be closed and finished before any serious working on the project starts, but isn't an immediate issue.

I mentioned that Dylan Beattie used something in his project Starship to test. Well I looked it up, he's using NCrunch which is not a testing framework. What it does is continually run your tests during development so that you can get continuous feedback. Starship does not use a testing framework as it is a compiler so Dylan has set up his own testing. I should add that NCrunch only works with Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider.

Following this guide I got to Create a unit test project where upon saw that there were 3 different test frameworks. At that point I found this article explaining the differences between them. For us I don't think it matters much as we really aren't familiar with any. I felt most drawn to Nunit, because of the language and the ignore("reason"). xUnit sounds more mature

CI via github once we have picked our testing interface?

The purpose of this issue has been accomplished, closing so more detailed ones can take its place.
