unit testing

[WizzarD]

Hello everyone,

i have a simple question: How do you run automated software-tests (Unit-Tests, Integration-Tests, etc.)?
Is this a thing or do you test every single feature ingame. What about regression testing?

I would like to have some comments, because this is a big thing for delivering high quality software.

What do you mean? Compale and printing errors and warnings?

Yes sadly.

No, i talk about writing tests for single pieces of your software who are working without using the game API. So you could test if they behave correctly without beeing ingame.

I remember asking Adam about debugging/unit testing several months ago. He knows testing stuff in game is more time consuming than in IDE and he said there were plans to create something to help us debug/unit test. I can't give you a better answer than that

You could do.....

            var handle = new NetHandle(5, EntityType.Player);
            var client = handle.Entity<Client>();

but will break on 'plugins/bridge.dll using some properties, some, not all.

Couldn't figure out how to fake/mock the client, might come back to it at some point.

You can write tests without the game API. You can use mock objects. It's simulated objects that mimic the behavior of real objects in controlled ways, most often as part of a software testing initiative
