-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, I've just recently decided to ask for comments (again) about the BDD interface I had been developing (on and off for the last few months). I recently picked it up again, and basing from the comments on the previous thread at http://tinyurl.com/2xmm2x there's still quite mixed reactions about BDD as an alternative to the Unit Test construct. That being said, that discussion is a good 4 months ago, and would like to ask the following questions to those who might be interested in something like this: * What degree of integration with Boost.Test be "suitable"? Though I see Boost.Test has a wealth of preprocessor macro's going about, it shouldn't be hard to integrate at that level. * What things would you like to see as part of the specification toolkit? I'm planning to put in string Regex matching support, integral type inspection (divisible by, is prime, is even/odd, etc.), and maybe pointer inspection (is null, is not null, is of type, derives from, etc.) and STL collection inspection. Input would be most appreciated. * Will a code generator (or specification file processor) be a useful addition? One which creates BDD implementations from "simple english" or using a simple specification language (a DSL)? I've re-read through the thread a few months back, and I guess the idea is "yes, it's interesting... but..." and I intend to explore the reasons for the apprehension. I've tagged release 0.1 using the git scm tool and the public (readonly) tree is available at http://orangeandbronze.com/~dean/spec.git -- while tarballs (.gz|.bz2) are available at http://orangeandbronze.com/~dean . I'd also like to make my intentions clear, I am developing this library for future review and (hopefully) inclusion into the Boost C++ Library - -- though of course, I still need to see what the community thinks about it first. Thanks in advance! - -- Dean Michael C.
