r.forestfrag, I wrote a test which was based on an example in the
original paper which was computing value of one cell in 3x3 window. It
is a really trivial example which tests 1 number and two other numbers
which are intermediate results. However, by writing it, I actually
discovered that although the results for a large area look good, this
small example, which I was able compute by hand, is failing. After
investigation, it turned out that the error is actually in r.mapcalc.
Computing the result outside of GRASS was crucial in this case. It was
an index and I was able to compute it by hand (and check it with the
example in the paper). For some other modules it could be more difficult
and I don't want to compute it without GRASS for more than one cell
even in this case, but it was certainly possible to write a test of
correctness for this module. Note that the test doesn't show if the (forest fragmentation)
index makes sense or if it is useful, but it shows that the module gives the result it
promised.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">This is the original test:<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass7/raster/r.forestfrag/testsuite/r_forestfrag_trivial.py">https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass7/raster/r.forestfrag/testsuite/r_forestfrag_trivial.py</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">This is the r.mapcalc bug:<br><br><a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3067">https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3067</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">And this is test which specifically shows the bug (would show if it would be reintroduced):<br></div><br><a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/raster/r.mapcalc/testsuite/test_row_above_below_bug.py">https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/raster/r.mapcalc/testsuite/test_row_above_below_bug.py</a><br><br></div></div>
