Add test generator to track tooling #495

Closed mk-mxp closed 2 months ago

mk-mxp commented 2 months ago

As discussed in the forum.

This my first approach to documenting the test generator information for future contributors. I am very open for improvements, be it language, structure or the place it should live in the docs.

Thanks!

Some tracks also create tests for concept exercises from a similar track-owned data source.

@mk-mxp What tracks do this?

I think I mixed it up in my memory from:

Should I remove that or make more into a suggestion: "Tracks may also create tests for concept exercises from a similar track-owned data source."?

I'll remove it in a future PR :)

Each language may have its own Test Generator, written in that language. should be updated in a future PR to something like Each language may have its own Test Generator, often written in that language.

As written, I interpret that as being a requirement that a test generator be written in the same language as a track. Some tracks may choose not to do this for a variety of reasons.

I'm working on a revised version
