[Grace-general] Test Suite

[Ebert, Rolf]

I have prepared a (very limited) test suite based on the AUnit package
(http://www.xprogramming.com/software.htm) for the grace unbounded lists
package.  I can provide it if someone is interested.


Sources are currently organized in parallel directories 

CVSROOT/
  +--- grace/                          -- exiting grace sources
  |
  +--- tests/                 -- actual test cases and reporter
  |
  +--- utils/
         +--- aunit/
                +--- aunit/
                |      +--- framework                -- needed
                |      |
                |      +--- text_reporter  -- currently needed
                |
                +--- template\
                |
                +--- test\


Actually, only files from the framework and text_reporter directories are
used for the tests.  The other directories come from the source distribution
of aunit.

The use of many different directories in a parallel structure seems easier
to understand.  On the downside some other compilers than Gnat propably need
more setup to tell them about the dir structure (at least the Alsys
compilers do).

Alternatively the tests and the reporting infrastructure can simply be put
in a single subdirectory of grace:

CVSROOT
  +--- grace/
         +--- tests/

Are you interested? What do you thing about the directory layout?
