What's the process for adding a test (specifically to babel)?
The only part that looks non-obvious is how to generate the test ID,
e.g. in ob-shell-test.org:
* Associative array tests (simple map)
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: bec1a5b0-4619-4450-a8c0-2a746b44bf8d
:END:
From there it looks like you just add to the correct file in
org-mode/testing/examples/*.org and the corresponding
/org-mode/testing/lisp/test-*.el file. Am I missing anything?
I'll add to the README or docs unless it's already there.
Thanks,
---George Jones

I suggest to stay away from examples/ and `org-test-at-id' altogether.
I find these tests horrible to debug when something goes wrong.
I suggest to stay with `org-test-with-temp-text', or, if needed,
`org-test-with-temp-text-in-file' and make the test self-contained.
Also, I think it is better to have only one `should' or related, outside
of this macro, so the whole test is easier to evaluate partially. See,
e.g., "test-org-footnote.el".
Obviously YMMV and the more important thing is to have more tests. How
tests are written is a lesser matter. Feel free to ignore my
suggestions.
Thank you for your work.
Regards,

In support of Nicolas' recommendations you may also find some test
examples with the macros he suggested here:
https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/tree/master/test
Over the past week I have been integrating tests on org-ref using some
of those macros. They are pretty easy to use.
