??: Winetests

[Aleksey Bragin]

Noone (with exception to a few reactos devs) really bothered to actually heavily use those
tests to check the developed code for errors.

If they were used from the beginning, there would be lots more supported apps by now.

Speaking on topic, updating is important, but 2 years ago means that that test isn't
really updated in wine.


Wbr,
Aleksey.

Hi,

I dont talk very often here, but this is, in my eyes, quite urgent. Some 
days ago Magnus said he was able to fix some bugs thanks to the old 
winetests we have in SVN. When I looked at the tests I saw that some had 
their last update in r16000, TWO Years ago. I know its some work to port 
the tests, but dont you agree that newer tests could help to find even 
more bugs in ROS and that a update should be performed? If I could, I 
would do so, but I'm not skilled enough yet...

I think that has something to do with the fact very few people know how to
use those tests.  The wiki has like nothing on it.

Just start the tests and they tell you how to use them :-P Btw many 2 
year old tests had massive updates already.

I can't speak for the rest of the ReactOS regression test suite but
the Wine part is pretty intuitive. If it gets a failure it reports and
error with line number and that line should in theory show the api
call that failed or returned bad data. If you want to know more about
the winetest infrastructure it is actually well documented on the
winehq side of things.
