Re: Unit testing

Murray,

I had no intention of creating an entire unit test framework. I
already use boost's unit test framework for my non-GUI libraries, I
was just wondering if there were tricks like firing signals from code
and also dealing with the X output that I could use within that
framework to do unit testing.

If it does come to requiring the use of either dogtail or LDTP, that's
what I'll end up using. I just don't have the time or resources to put
into it right now, so I was wondering if there were gtkmm specific
methods someone was using.

Thanks,
Paul
