Abstract | Software development benefits from systematic testingwith respect to implementation, optimization, and maintenance.Automated testing makes it easy to execute a largenumber of tests efficiently on a regular basis, leading tofaster development and more reliable software.Systematic testing is not widely adopted within the computermusic community, where software patches tend tobe continuously modified and optimized during a project.Consequently, bugs are often discovered during rehearsalor performance, resulting in literal show stoppers. Thispaper presents a testing environment for computer musicsystems, first developed for the Jamoma framework andMax. The testing environment works with Max 5 and 6, isindepend from any 3rd-party objects, and can be used withnon-Jamoma patches as well. |
