Create set of tests

Open mandli opened this issue 13 years ago • 4 comments

VisClaw needs a set of regression and unit tests of some sort that cover in particular:

  • Each plot type
  • As much of the plot data members as possible
  • Regression tests with real data

There are some new regression test modules in clawutil that will be improved in the next few days and then we can start building up a set of tests, which will also be a good test of the regression testers.

Perhaps we could also use the generation of example galleries as a means of testing.

In the process of making tests this will also provide a good idea of what in VisClaw is not being used and possibly removed as suggested in #39.

Do we want to revisit this issue? GeoClaw for instance has a number of skipped tests that actually do plotting and may provide something in terms of regression testing. On the other hand we are also talking about moving away from this framework so maybe the effort is not worth it.
