[Adium-devl] Unit testing

Those of you who are paying attention to the commits list or Trac  
feed have noticed that I've added some unit tests to Adium recently.

I invite your help. Adium would benefit greatly from good test  
coverage, to help prevent regressions and aid API documentation.

I've created a page on the wiki:

If you have some time, please reserve one or more Adium classes or  
addition-categories to work on (by adding your reservation on the  
page), and then add a unit-tests class for it, following the  
instructions on the page.

It really is quite easy. The SenTestingKit test system makes it easy  
to set up tests rapidly, and once the tests are in place, you may  
find and get to fix one or more latent bugs that the tests reveal.  
That's *really* fun. ☺

If you've heard of unit-testing before, but haven't figured out yet  
what exactly it's supposed to do (like me, a couple days ago), I have  
a blog post for you:
