Testing
-------

I added some fundamental (base SI) units as well as some common derived units in SI and English/Imperial system, mostly for electrical or thermal units. I also added a simple member function to the Value class, symbolAsString(), to immediately receive the current unit assigned to the Value object as a QString. I was running into issues with my code where doing v.unit()->symbol() wasn't working because I was getting KSharedPointers instead of the object, and the program would just crash. I just wanted the string! So I made a function, which helped with testing of the units.

The new categories work fine under my test program. I was able to convert thermal units back and forth in my test program, so seems ok. The values also appear correct from my tests (as long as I didn't mess anything up by hand!).

First time submitting review, so please let me know if there is something else I should do better next time, thank you.


Thanks,

Garret Wassermann
