Re: [tor-dev] Unit testing blog posts

Nice posts and thanks for improving the tor tests! I'm not entirely in agreement with the last point (about tests covering all cases). If the test space is decently small then exercising everything can better ensure that you don't violate a set of invariants. For example, one of stem's unit tests attempt every combination of authentication methods against every set of failures they can encounter, making sure that we properly report success/failure and never raise an unexpected type of exception... https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/blob/HEAD:/test/unit/connection/authe...

But that said, in general you're probably right. -Damian
