Very nice article that gives more insight into a special new language.
Hope to be able to use the compiler soon.

They use tests discovery, also some meta things which help you to do all stuff smoothly. If you need one global function that will create a particular entity, you can use fixtures with definitions of its lifetime(session, module, function). It’s helpful for some sort of tests.

This is a great article. I share your thoughts on how testing should be, unobtrusive and as closely as real programs as it can be.
Given that you are testing a compiler, how do you test for errors? Ensuring the compiler will error out on bad situations can be as important as doing the right thing. Have you found a way to apply this same scheme for errors?

I’m myself a big fan of automatic discovery and I’m really pleased to see the straight forward way of pushing complications into a centered place.
Go Abner! :)
