If you're writing code in Julia you may have been wondering exactly how to do testing. For a while now there has been basic support for tests with @test, and this is now (maybe it has been for a while and I missed it) documented at http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/stdlib/test/ But also, in the last week or so, Pkg,test() was merged - https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/6191 - which means: julia> help(Pkg.test) INFO: Loading help data... Base.Pkg.test() Run the tests for all installed packages ensuring that each package's test dependencies are installed for the duration of the test. A package is tested by running its "test/runtests.jl" file and test dependencies are specified in "test/REQUIRE". And if you create a new package with Pkg.generate() you get: (1) an example tests/runtests.jl (2) all the right configuration in .travis.yml This is great news. It means that there's a single, standard way to structure tests. And it makes it really easy to get things working on Travis. Andrew
