Testing the Shiplist

Test Driven Development

I have spent a lot of time writing tests for the shiplist, making sure that it is sane. The idea here is to implement "Test Driven Development", normally a method/philosophy used by coders.

The method is simple:

determine a condition that must be met
find a way to code tests to the data that confirms the condition is true
run the tests against the whole mod.
clean up the issues detected
run ALL the tests each time new changes are introduced, in case we introduced problems.

By doing this, over and over, I know that the quality of this shiplist is at its best ever.

Example: Mauler

Maulers should all have the SpecialCode 'A' for Assault. The only exception is when the ship is set to 'R'estricted. The Mauler will have a Mauler weapon on it, and will have the role MAULER in the Enhanced Role or Enhanced Secondary Role column for this ship.

This is testable!

for each ship in the shiplist
- for all weapons on this ship
  - if there's a Mauler
    - is this ship's SPECIAL code set to A or R?
      - If not, return an error about this ship.
    - is this ship's Enhanced Role or Enhanced Secondary Role set to MAULER?
      - If not, return an error about this ship

Result:

# Check that maulers have appropriate special role 'A' or 'R' and that all 'A ships have a mauler
ok 56 - SpecialRole A are maulers, and maulers are A or R.

Verbose output, all coded tests

    This module is a refactor of various functions I wanted refactored and
    shared between multiple OP+ related shiplist scripts.

  EXPORT
    None by default.

Model Testing

To test models, I simply reuse some old tools I have created way-back-when: 3 scripts that loads and then blows up a ship of each model.

The scripts do the following:

Find all the model files relevant to the current script (complete, single race, bases)
load up a ship for each model file, to test the .MOD file
blow up the ship, to test the _BRK.MOD file

The idea is that for each ship that it loads and then blows up, results are written to disk. To see the results, you can review a log file. The file is C:\TestModels.txt . If you run these scripts and you crashed, you should check this logfile!

There are 3 scripts:

Standard version, 1 race at a time:
- Ski_test_models.scr size: 470kb (Version 1.23, 20040627)
- Ski_test_models-20040627.zip size: 72kb (sources)
Complete test version, all models tested in a single run:
- Ski_test_all_models.scr size: 470kb (Version 1.00, 20040714)
- Ski_test_all_models-20040714.zip size: 77kb (sources)
'Test all bases' models, all in a single run:
- Ski_test_bases_models.scr size: 470kb (Version 1.00, 20040714)
- Ski_test_bases_models-20040714.zip size: 90kb (sources)

Look for "SFC:OP Models Tester" scripts on http://klingon.pet.dhs.org/sources_and_utils/ .
