Its main | ;; features are facilities for defining and running test cases and | ;; reporting the results as well as for debugging test failures | ;; interactively. | ;; | ;; The main entry points are `ert-deftest', which is similar to | ;; `defun' but defines a test, and `ert-run-tests-interactively', | ;; which runs tests and offers an interactive interface for inspecting | ;; results and debugging. There is also `ert-run-tests-batch' for | ;; non-interactive use. | ;; | ;; The body of `ert-deftest' forms resembles a function body, but the | ;; additional operators `should', `should-not' and `should-error' are | ;; available. `should' is similar to cl's `assert', but signals a | ;; different error when its condition is violated that is caught and | ;; processed by ERT. In addition, it analyzes its argument form and | ;; records information that helps debugging (`assert' tries to do | ;; something similar when its second argument SHOW-ARGS is true, but | ;; `should' is more sophisticated). For information on `should-not' | ;; and `should-error', see their docstrings. `---- Manish writes: > On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 7:50 PM, Sebastian Rose wrote: > [snip] > > > > If you know of someone who knows how to do automated tests in > > elisp, or some technique, package, whatever, please post it to the > > list, so we all can take a look at it and comment->decide > > something.
