[ww-devel] PG Tests

[Peter Staab]

Geoff,

This is great.  Mike and I were discussing a set of tests on a set of representative problems that we could run a rendering script on.  I did some preliminary work on such a script at the code camp and looked into developing some automatic testing for some problems. 

I think it would also be a good idea to make sure that each problem contains every standard macro (either the basic ones or all of the ones in PG/macros).  This would probably grow the list, so if we want to keep the list to 20-30, then we could have two or more sets of problems.

The list of files in pg/macros is pretty imposing however.  So I wanted to first get a list of "important" modules and functions and make a set of say 20 or 30 problems which tests the core features.  I've put a draft list here:
