Hi pd peoples,
I looked around the pd ecosystem and didn't find much in terms of testing facilities (please correct me if I'm wrong) and so I made an external with special functional testing purposes.
Test suites are written in the very simple and easy to learn Lua programming language, a test case resemble:
Suite("Example suite").case("Foobar").test("FOO").should:equal("BAR")
where the pdtest external will outputs "symbol FOO" and test will pass if it receives back "symbol BAR"
documentation and source code can be found: https://github.com/lp/pdtest#readme
I would appreciate feedback on the usability of its design. It work perfect for the external I need to test but I may not grasp what the collective need for testing is, if one exist at all in the pd world anyway.
regards,
Louis-Philippe
