<\/a><\/p>\nAs you can see there, the project code is currently broken down into three repositories. The main code repository, called Looking from the left hand side, you can see a greyed out part with the The test library will consist of modules describing various tests for PMS compliance. Each of these modules, called a test case will provide at least the following information:<\/p>\n Those test cases will be reused by two other PMS Test Suite scripts. The The The test ebuilds will use an PM-independent method of exchanging information with the As the GSoC coding period starts tomorrow, today seems like the last good day to write a little about the project design. For that reason, I created a little diagram in dia: As you can see there, the project code is currently broken down into three repositories. The main code repository, called pms-test-suite.git is going … Continue reading “PMS Test Suite: the project design”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30\/revisions\/44"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.gentoo.org\/mgorny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}pms-test-suite.git<\/code> is going to hold the core project code \u2014 main scripts, library-handling Python modules and so on.
