Hi,
From a discussion I had with Kent Beck about Continuous Testing / Autotest (see http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/07/live-testing-with-autotest.html ), I would like to add a kind of Time Machine for Smalltalk code in Autotest.
When a test fails, what I really want to know is why. Sometimes a test fails and I don't know why. So I have to go through a debugging session which distracts me from what I've been coding.
So an idea is to diff backtrace before and after the test fails: - revert to last green - replay the test and save the trace - forward to current test and run (test fails) - compare execution paths in order to see the consequence of last change
How would you do this ? Where should I look for materials which can help me coding this ?
Cheers,
Laurent Laffont
