Ok as I'm testing this new VM I"m wondering has anyone done a code coverage review of the Pharo image in relationship to the suite of available tests?
So Stefan Reichart (now at cmsbox.com) did his Master on test-smell detection. (see http://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2007_10/paper12/ ) Part of this work was a test-coverage tool (this used multiple backends, methodwrappers, bytesurgeon and Persephone AST-interpratation using Philippe Marschall's work). We should really have a look at that again... (but fist we need to get the infrastructure in shape...) Having coverage analysis would help to clean up, too. I think a good part of the code in the image was executed last in 1997 or so... Marcus
