I want to do some testing of a program. Since I couldn't find the right sort of test for the behaviour, thought I'd start with source code analysis, only it is written in Lua. Only tool so far that even looks like it will fly is lua-inspect, which seems mostly aimed at using with the SciTE editor, and does very limited checking if the documentation is accurate. Anyone any experience of Lua, and in particular any attempts for static analysis or code metrics? Suspect I will have to revert to plan A, and sort out some fuzz testing, but someone may leap up and say "I know". There are tools around to get to an AST from lua source, and some older tools that might work if I learn some more C++ history. Fuzz testing has the advantage of being (mostly) language agnostic, and I need to do some similar tests on code written in other languages, hence the probably plan A. You don't have this problem finding tool for ADA, which has a certain irony to it.... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
