  • The language agnostic argument is a very good point, since I plan on implementing python bindings for the library down the road. Thanks! Commented Jun 14, 2012 at 17:50
  • @tdammers: any particular testing framework? Commented Jun 14, 2012 at 23:47
  • @JBRWilkinson: Just a 30-line shell script. For most of the languages I use, I do have little libraries around for common testing tasks such as running a function, comparing the result to an expected value, and throwing when they don't match. But any given unit testing framework could easily be integrated into such a "meta system", as long as it can run from the command line and signals success/failure through its exit status.

  • I can't see how this matters to the one executable class if you just can add one or two start parameters on the command line. I wrote my test with control flow in the opposite direction. The setup/teardown functions are calling the scripts not the other way around. Commented Jan 22, 2022 at 3:20
