| Jun 16, 2011 at 3:55 | comment | added | Мסž | At some point I give up and start using real files. But not until I really have to, it's normally possible to do 99% of it using hard-coded data. I think I have two file-based tests. Both are regression tests and I'm testing something like "after 65k iterations something bad happens" or "files larger than 2GB do not work" (what, someone reintroduced the small file size bug? Say it isn't so). | |
