Testing is a major issue right now. I've been trying to convince
people to write more tests, but I haven't been able to get
a lot of action. Frankly, I'm dreadfully embarassed about
some of the bugs that slipped past us in the initial release.
What we have now is a ridiculously minimal set of tests that I wrote
to test the basic merge operation. They test the particular
function that they were meant to test, and cover a few bits and pieces
of workspace function. But really, they're just tests of the merge
operator.
Other than that, we've been using some informal smoke tests. Which
are clearly inadequate. We should *definitely* be working on unit tests.
