Title: Unit Testing?
Post by: davidshq on March 03, 2019, 01:28:22 pm: Hi All,

I decided working on refactoring one of Hutsell's Wargames (https://hutsellgames.com/) would be a good way for me to work through Martin Fowler's classic (and revised) Refactoring book (https://amzn.to/2T98eKy). As part of this endeavor I'd love to be able to do some unit testing to make sure my refactorings don't break everything. :) I was wondering if anyone has done any unit testing in QB64? If so, how you accomplished it and if you have built any tools you'd be willing to share?

Thanks!
Dave

I made a really simple one to test a string math "unit" I've been working on. I just feeds in random numbers and operatons then checks numeric results against my string results. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/qbasic/working-on-some-ideas-for-base-10-math-operations--t39442.html

I'll be interested to see how others respond to this request. There's a good chance I'm missing something, since I don't often have a need for anymore than beta testing by manual means for most of my projects.

Haven't had a chance to look at it much, but wondering if porting fbcunit (FreeBasic unit testing) might be a quick solution:
