[Qgis-psc] Comments from Strk on QGIS-Testsuite

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

As you may remember, Strk participated in the paid bug fixing program.
He made some comments which I am forwarding to the board: 

--------------------------- Citing ------------------------------- 

This bugfixing drive convinced me even more that QGIS needs to improve
its testsuite framework: it was often difficult to figure out how to
provide a test for a bug, there was no provision to write a test before
fixing a bug (useful to prove the fix is needed), there is only python
testing for the whole PostgreSQL provider and it is not automatically
setup to run. Shall there be a budget to improve the situation, please
let me know as I have a few ideas. 

------------------------------------------------------------------ 

And here is the list of bugs that Strk fixed for us:

So the testsuite is definitely an area we could ask a potential QGIS
grant person to work on. 

Greetings,
Andreas
