Some weeks ago I've discussed unit testing with a friend (who is working in a larger team), as I had a light suspiciosly view on this topic. For _complex_ systems with _clear_ structure and interfaces, they absolutely make sense and are productive. But the entry level where they are worth the effort is quite high. I guess that even for average industrial automation applications (where I have used FPC in practice), the usage of unit tests is a little bit exaggerated and won't help much. As Michael stated: It depends on the usage case... And it's something which I would call in German: "Da wird mal wieder eine neue Sau durchs Dorf getrieben." (Probably not translateable to English, sorry). It's a buzzword, managers like it, but there are cases where they really make sense. But by far not in all cases. - Sebastian _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
