Subject: Re: FireUnit test adaption from Gears tests
Thanks Jan,

Now I was hoping you could comment on a testing problem at work.

I need to automate Javascript tests as much as possible on mobile
devices, testing a plugin. Testing the plugin on the desktop (Firefox)
with FireUnit is fine.

Though I need to test also on really limited mobile platforms such as
Pocket IE on Windows Mobile (JQuery does not work). The only other
testing framework that actually seems to work on such devices is the
Gears one.

However it feels a little complex to me and it depends on some Gears
plugin functionality (I think) to actually work. So I've attempted to
strip down the assert libraries like so http://static.webvm.net/unit/foo.html
Which will stop processing on the first error currently.

So the idea I had is to tell testers to write in the Google Gears unit
test style. Kinda get it working with the Gears harness or my crappy
cut down new assert library http://static.webvm.net/unit/new-assert.js.
And when testing on desktop, I recommend using a FireUnit adaption
type technique.

Does that reasonable? Perhaps what I am really enquiring about is that
if you had any visions of a FireUnit lite or is that Qunit?

Thanks for your time!
