This directory contains the tests for libyzis. Since a code editor is a key component in software development, you expect it to be very robust. Yzis will be, thanks to its (soon) very complete test suite.
The tests depend on cppunit, a test library that helps you organise test into suites and fixutres. You need cppunit 1.10 from cppunit.sf.net
By default, configure won't detect cppunit if it is not installed. So you must run make -f Makefile.cvs in yzis in order to get the tests to compile and linke correctly.
PhilAsserts and PhilTestRunner are a small addition to cppunit that I use to improve the writing of the tests and the reporting of errors.
