Unit test framework for gnome-games?

[Andreas Røsdal <andrearo pvv ntnu no>]

I've been thinking about using a unit test framework for gnome-games,
to automate testing and allow bugs to be detected early. In particular I 
think it would be useful to have a testing framework that would emulate 
playing through all the games, to test typical usage and detect crashes. 
This would hopefully lead to more stable games, reports of test-coverage 
and allow regression testing[1]. For example, we could potentially 
enforce that all new patches should also implement a unit test.

A suggestion would be to use Check[2] for the games written in C,
and PyUnit[3] for the two games using Python. Are there other 
suggestions, and is using a unit testing for gnome-games a sane idea?  :)
