Description Anthony Hunter

org.eclipse.zest.tests has a bunch of test snippets, very similar to the test snippets in org.eclipse.draw2d.examples. 

org.eclipse.zest.tests should really be renamed org.eclipse.zest.examples.

We can then bring this plug-in into the packaging, likely at the same time as Bug 213041

Since org.eclipse.zest.tests has not been packaged yet, we can rename to org.eclipse.zest.examples in CVS.

Yes, examples make much more sense. I do use these for regression testing.

Am I able to rename this, or is this something you (or webmaster) must do?

I suggest we add this as a mandatory delivery to Helios.

At minimum we need some tests to exercise our public API that the community is using in their products.

Likely we can create tests that run all the snippets.

I would like to have Automated tests for Helios.  How do the GEF/Draw2D bundles do their tests?  The problem with these snippets is that they require manual inspection, clicking around, making sure the nodes are the right colour, etc... Is GEF and Draw2D using any sort of testing framework to assist with this?

Nope, there is no "visual inspection" framework as you say. The tests run and you are right, the UI could be wrong. The tests do checks as best they can, like I said, more or less this would be an API / things are still working type test.

Split zest.tests bundle into zest.tests and zest.examples bundles (which is undeployed). Pushed changes to origin/master. Resolving as fixed in 3.11.0 M2.
