[Kstars-devel] Test cases in KStars

[Akarsh Simha]

Hi

I believe that one of the things that we should have but do not have
are test cases.

I don't know anything about writing test cases, so I'm asking for
help. I might not be able to implement any of this until vacations in
December, but I'm just trying to get some ideas about it, and if
someone wants to go ahead and write some tests, that would be good
too.

KStars is pretty tightly bound, so testing could be a problem, but I
think a lot of the computational routines can be tested. However, I
don't know if it is superfluous, for instance, to test things like
EquatorialToHorizontal, and I don't have much else in mind that can be
tested.

Looking forward to some suggestions and ideas.

Also, Jason used to do a Quality Assurance list before every
release. The list is somewhat outdated, but that might be a good
source to look for behaviors to write test cases for:
