I think unit tests would be great!<br>
<br>
I'm not a mentor this year (in fact, I have no idea who *is*...)
but there is no dedicated unit-testing mentor, if that's what
you're asking. <br>
<br>
Another thing to consider is the cost of maintaining the tests.
Don't want to spend more time than they save, especially for a
tiny community like T4K. I'd suggest (a) focusing on t4k_common
and letting the extra assurance trickle into TuxMath; (b) going
for quality over quantity by nailing the 20% of functionality that
gets 80% of use, and (c) automating them to run *quickly* and
*quietly* on each build, so there's no extra effort. Along the
same lines, avoid adding dependencies as much as possible.<br>

Best,<br>

<div style="">I am interested in doing GSOC this year with
Tux4Kids. I liked the project on TuxMath regarding creating
Unit Tests for TuxMath and t4k_common. I have knowledge of
C++. I have done Behaviour Driven Design (BDD) and Test Driven
Development (TDD) in Ruby on Rails using tools available there
(such as Cucumber, RSpec, etc.)</div>

<div style="">I would like to know the response towards this
project and what additional details I need to know. Also, I
would like to know if any mentor has been assigned
specifically to this idea.</div>
