[Adium-devl] Unit testing

[Colin Barrett]

I'd like to note also that once we get buildbot up and running, these  
unit tests will be automatically run after every commit! instantly  
being able to catch regressions will be amazing. Writing a unit test  
for fixes you check in can ensure that we don't fix the same bugs over  
and over. (See the recent S+ problems for a great example of something  
that really badly needs unit testing)
