[tor-dev] Unit testing blog posts

[Damian Johnson]

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...

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