<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Having followed this conversation thus
far, and knowing zero about nunit (other than the fact it didn't work after
I upgraded to Fedora 9):</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Until such time as we have an application
in which a bug is genuinely considered to be unexpected, as opposed to
business-as-usal, the test cases rally should be a part of the "distribution".</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Which raises the question: Do we have
a "distribution" in the sense of a consistently formed binary
distribution that is distinct from the development tree?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Where test cases go should might their
nature: we should have (eventually anyway) unit, functional, compliance,
regression, performance, and system tests. Others?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Personally, I don't think *where* the
test case source goes makes much difference to anything, both approaches
have merits.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+1 to binaries WITOUT tests included</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+1 to binaries WITH tests included.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+1 to tests kept with the code to which
they relate</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+1 to tests kept in a separate testing
subtree.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">But most of all:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+1 to tests</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">AND</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+2 to using them.</font>
