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	Valgrind Errors	Documentation	Tutorial
Gold	> 80%	0	yes	yes
Silver	> 70%	< 10	yes	yes
Bronze	> 60%	< 50	yes	yes
Clay	> 50%	< 100	yes	yes
Coal	> 50%	> 100	yes	yes
Hazard	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.
