Re: [FR-devel] DumbTestBuilder - A Nice Start

well I suppose that the real cool thing is
TestDrivenDevelopment, so I suppose we should have an
Extremely Cool Plugin [tm] that would build skeleton
for test and classes from others metadata (i.e. uml
diagrams, xmi specs and so on..

I'd love to see someone taking over my code (or just
take a start from it) cause I don't think I'm a good
enough coder.

BTW, except from basic stuff (like file overwriting
checking), how should a similar tool be structured?
What should it do ?

What heuristics may fall in it ?(i.e. possibly
automated assignments/retrieve tests for accessor
methods)

Oh, and a really cool thing is that DumbTestBuilder
depends from basic_source_parser.rb.. but it disclosed
a bug in it :)

the parser recognizes stuff like /\s*method\w/ or
"classify" or 'my module' as code.. 
I think we could (sort of) easily extend the code for
=begin..=end to handle this kind of literals... but
I'm sitting 3 exams in the next two week so I'll not
mess with this :)


>Thanks again,

again thanks to you (include FR-developer.all)
for giving us such a good base to hack on..
