I agree, and I think a test suite is essential for maintaining Csound in the future.

I do not think the test suite should be done all at once. We can add to it as we go along. However, it should be COMPLETELY automated.

Hi all,

Perhaps it would be a good time to create some sort of test suite that
can test all of these features?  One for tcl, java, python, lisp,
opcodes, etc. It'd be useful for testing and having example code
around, and it'd help clarify what's required to run these features. 
So for example, if Michael wrote a test lisp file that uses the lisp
binding, the rest of us wouldn't have to know what to code in lisp,
just know what is needed to run the test.

I think a "test" directory could be added and underneath it a simple
bash script that can drive the test suite, collecting return codes and
reporting if tests pass/fail. We could make a TODO in the test
directory with tests that need to be written (i.e. one for all the
bindings above, a fluidsynth test csd with small sf2 provided, ats
tests, loris tests, osc tests, etc.).

Any thoughts?

steven
