Unit tests

[Daniel Köb <daniel koeb peony at>]

Hi,

For some code changes I'm planning to make I would like to write some 
unit tests first. It's always nice to know that you didn't break 
anything unexpectedly in some tricky function...
The HACKING file states in a single paragraph that NUnit is used for 
unit testing and explains a little bit how such tests should be 
implemented. Unfortunately, this paragraph is rather outdated (2006) and 
it seems to be wrong at least for some parts.

So my first question is: Is anybody writing unit tests when hacking f-spot?

Furthermore, I managed to build and run the existing tests (2, is this 
it?!?). I also managed to write, build, and run my own tests with some 
problems I had to work around.
Before I'm going into more detail about these problems and asking 
further questions I would like to know if f-spot should have unit tests 
at all (I'd say yes) and if they would be used and maintained by others 
as well.

Regards,
Daniel
