[Qgis-developer] Processing tests

[Matthias Kuhn]

You have probably noticed that recently some tests for processing have
been included.

They run geo-algorithms and check if their result matches with what is
expected.

It is very easy to expand this suite. Test definitions are written in
the form of yaml. Templates for this definitions can be created from the
processing history. There are some possibilities to fine-tune the
comparison (e.g. skip fields, allow values to be compared with an
epsilon, match a result file with a series of regular expressions...)
which have been added more recently. At the moment it runs tests for
some qgis algorithms and gdal algorithms.

If you have 5 minutes to spare today, please help and add a test!

More information can be found in our blog [1] and the readme [2].

Thanks a lot,
Matthias
