Testing Partition

Most Slicer modules have a GUI component and a Data Processing component.

Testing GUI components is still a challenge, so we will focus here on testing the Data Processing components. This can be done in most cases by partitioning the module into a GUI section and a Data Processing section, where the second one usually takes the form of a C++ class (although that is not a requirement).

The data processing section can be tested by using standard CTest/CMake mechanisms. Basically by adding ADD_TEST() entries to the CMakeLists.txt file of the module.

Luis Ibanez' scoring system

The following scoring will be applied to the data processing sections of all modules:

Slicer 3.6 Quality Assurance Scoring
Score Code Coverage Valgrin Errors Documentation Tutorial
Gold > 80% 0 yes yes
Silver > 70% < 10 yes yes
Bronze > 60% < 50 yes yes
Aluminium > 50% < 100 yes yes
Coal > 50% > 100 yes yes
Plutonium unknown unknown no no

The code coverage and Valgrind error must be the ones reported on the Nightly Slicer Dashboard. Anecdotal data is not acceptable.
