The ctests are not convenient tests. In this file we can attempt to log the
|
||
|
|
benefits and costs to using them so we can periodically evaluate which tests we
|
||
|
|
should keep and which we should get rid of.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Below are some objective costs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The time it takes to run the ctests.
|
||
|
|
- The email discussion back-and-forth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are also some non-objective costs. The ctests are annoying and not fun to
|
||
|
|
maintain, discuss, and fix. Although it's hard to measure this "annoyance"
|
||
|
|
cost, it should be taken into account when we review.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Below we can try to keep a log of which bugs are found with which ctests. This
|
||
|
|
way we can see which tests are the most useful. It is difficult to objectively
|
||
|
|
differentiate between minor bugs and important bugs.
