Hello, I decided to spend some time on unit tests in Ivy and Ant; I did some work on Ivy tests this summer and I feel that work is unfinished.
In particular, there was a conversation about the use of fail(); my feeling is that it is somewhat superfluous: there are assumptions for (de)activating tests, assertions and expected exceptions, and that should suffice for defining a test. The way fail() is used in Ivy now mostly looks like a rethrow of unexpected exceptions to AssertionErrors (why?). So, in a nutshell: I would like to minimize try/catch and if/else in unit tests and make them work without fail(). What do you think? Gintas
