[ImageJ-devel] IJ1 unit tests

[Curtis Rueden]

Hi Wayne et. al,

For quite some time now, we have had unit tests (written by Barry) for
testing the behavior of IJ1. Unfortunately, they were originally written to
compile against a patched version of IJ1 and we neglected to update them to
work with IJ1 "out of the box."

I have had a ticket about this situation (
http://dev.imagejdev.org/trac/imagej/ticket/598) for the past few months,
but have only just now finally fixed the tests to work against various
versions of IJ1 from 1.44 onwards.

I ran them against all development versions of 1.45 (a through q) and saved
the result as a blog post:
  http://imagejdev.org/2011/10/07/unit-tests-imagej-1x

It looks like from 1.45a through 1.45q, a total of 7 code changes were
introduced that result in test failures. These could be the result of
bugfixes, or they could be new regressions. I wanted to let you know in case
you were interested in pursuing these bugs, since I know how much you value
backwards compatibility.

Instructions on running the tests yourself can be found here:
  http://imagejdev.org/source-code#Running_ImageJ_1.x_unit_tests

My plan is to hook up the tests to Hudson (http://dev.imagejdev.org:8080/)
and have it send an email whenever a new version of IJ1 is released with
failing tests.

What do you think?

Regards,
Curtis
