So how do you guys test visual programming languages? These languages include Labview, Simulink, Snaplogic, Slang, etc. I ask because I’m working on improving the testing suite we use at my job for Snaplogic. The way we currently lest is we have a suite of pipelines that have certain snaps and we just run those pipelines and look for errors in a testing environment every release.
What I’m really trying to figure out is how to run Functional Tests (unit, integration, system) and Non-Functional Tests (security, performance). In a language such as Python this can be straight forward but in a visual language or a service offered by another company then it is a bit more difficult.
I am thinking of creating a custom test suite using the modules used in our pipelines and using Python to generate JSON and SQL data. Does anyone do something similar?
You must log in or register to comment.
I think the public that uses those tools usually don’t care about standard practices (yet?).
So congrats, you are on the forefront I guess.
I’m just trying to get a raise bro
Simulink has a concept called Test Harnesses which are models that isolate individual blocks for testing. The tests themselves are then driven programmatically from MATLAB
visually 🤭🤣
Give 'em an occular pat down.
I tried MS Word a few times and decided that drag-and-drop UIs are not for me
Tell me about it… I don’t even use visual editors for charts, I use Mermaid.js in https://mermaid.live/
Visual… programming languages? Yikes.
There are quite a few of them
a service offered by another company then it is a bit more difficult.
Quit this job or ask for source code from the company, releasing a programming language closed-source is just terrible.
lol I’m not quitting my job over this
I am not contributing to closed source either, fuck billionaires
