evaluate test cases

[pkra]

Anything we can do to improve things?

Coverage is lacking for:

• book-title.js
• meta-name
• meta-value
• subj-group
• subject

Two conflicting thoughts:

• should we refactor our tests to be more unit-test-like? That might ease adding new elements.
• Should our test sample be generated from TeX via texml? That might more easily catch unexpected changes in texml.

Not using texml to generate our test files risks diverging unintentionally. However, this hasn't been a major problem in the past.

I'm leaning more towards unit-testing because the tests would be easier to understand (and thus maintain). But that would move us even further from a texml-generated approach because texml is too slow to pre-process each snippet.

I suppose we could keep the snippets for the unit tests separately but the XML would just be full of texml-generated boilerplate.

What I'm hoping will happen: if we refactor to unit tests, we'll find which tests are too interconnected. That'll give us a few more complex test cases which we can then generate with texml.

#447 makes me want to find time for this.

Random note: perhaps texml's test files could serve as integration/snapshot tests.
