KGSBugs/ Discussion

Sub-page of KGSBugs

General discussion about bugs on KGS and on KGSBugs page.


Anon: Someone should just make a regression testing suite that wms can use to make sure everything works after his changes, and that past problems do not reappear. Unfortunately, wms is probably the only one that can do this.

Neil: Regression testing is easier said than done for graphical user apps like this. I would normally urge him to slow down, but in this case the protocol breakage left him with no good option. Let's just hope that protocol breakages are only made for really good reasons, and that the hearsay mentioned elsewhere on SL isn't true.

Anon: That's why I say wms is probably the only one that can do this (easily). He can write a robot operating through the client protocol to test the server. Granted, not the same as testing through the client, but it will avoid server bugs.

IanDavis I actually work in Regression testing. If somebody wants to collect the old clients and make out a few test cases I'm sure it will be possible to make a big regression testing operation. I'm not touching it though ;-)
