Hi Matthias,<div><br></div><div>I will take you up on your offer of an example... thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>I've read about test-suite and test-case, but I'm not sure of the best way to test each utility in a file.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ideally the tests would be grouped with the functions:</div><div><br></div><div>(define f1 ...)</div><div>(module+ test </div><div> (test-equal? "f1-tests" (f1 1 2) 1)</div><div> (test-equal? "f1-tests" (f1 3 4) 4))</div>

<div><br></div><div>I believe that the above scheme would work and run every time the enclosing file/module is run... right?</div><div><br></div><div>What if I want to control when all the tests are run? Can I somehow build a trigger to fire off all the tests? From the docs it looks like this is the purpose of test-suite, but I don't know the mechanics when the test cases are spread out in the file... maybe that isn't allowed and I will need to group the tests?</div>

</div>-- test-engine provides test support for the teaching languages of DrRacket.<br>
-- rackunit is for 'adult' programmers, meaning programmers who have outgrown teaching languages.<br>
<br>
You can still use test-engine in plain #lang racket, and you could use rackunit in teaching languages.<br>
<br>
You can also use both with submodules especially (module+ test ...). Holler if you need examples -- Matthias<br>
