Hi Victor,
thanks for that. I think the problem can be split in two:
* checking that a module works
* checking that it works well.
The first one would simply mean that a module would produce an output
(of the type expected); I think this check should be run automatically
at every commit into the sextante code, to be sure nothing breaks
badly. I think this should be very easy to implement, and could be
done soon. Most errors will be spotted this way. Many less used
modules can break without nobody noticing it.
Your suggestion address the second issue, and is obviously better, but
it will take longer to implement.
So I would suggest to implement the first one soon, doing the second
for a GSoC or other.
All the best.
