And - indeed, we would love to convert more people to the cult of unit
testing - Kohei started, and appears to have become quite addicted. The
code for calc is in sc/qa/unit/ - and it would be wonderful to have some
love there: there is a lot to test (as you can see).
Personally, I would love to see some nice unit tests for eg. for calc's
number formatting logic: to check corner cases of what we display for
various numbers. Similarly things like undo/redo could use a
comprehensive thrashing - with some kind of random torture test on a
document: performing tens of random insert / delete / overwrite /
remove / add rows etc. - and then undoing it all, and verifying that we
did indeed end up back where we started - might be nice :-)
A great way to learn the code, and (I hope) quite fun, and will protect
us from problems for many years.
Thanks !
Michael.
