Recently, I helped a student at Harvey Mudd college write and submit a conformance test for the lzexpand dll: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-cvs/2004/11/0164.html I picked lzexpand.dll since (lacking a GUI) it seemed simple to test.
Now I'm putting together a reusable lab project for other colleges, at http://kegel.com/wine/sweng, and am trying to pick a few good DLLs for the students to write tests for. (I plan ask the students to send me their patches so I can review them before they post them on wine-patches.)
Clearly, I shouldn't ask anyone to write a conformance test for a huge DLL in a term, so I guess I'll focus on on the DLLs with under 100 functions. And I'd like to skip DLLs that have GUIs, so I guess I'll omit any where the word HWND occurs. That leaves the following 53 DLLs or VxDs:
amstream atl cabinet capi2032 cards cfgmgr32 comcat crypt32 d3dx8 d3dxof dbghelp devenum dinput8 dmband dmcompos dmscript dmsynth dmusic32 dplayx dpnet dpnhpast dswave dxdiagn dxerr8 dxerr9 glu32 iccvid icmp ifsmgr.vxd imagehlp itss mmdevldr.vxd monodebg.vxd msdmo mshtml msimg32 msisys msnet32 msvidc32 mswsock olepro32 olesvr qcap secur32 vdhcp.vxd vmm.vxd vnbt.vxd vnetbios.vxd vtdapi.vxd vwin32.vxd win32s winaspi wsock32
That's a small enough list that I can start guessing at which ones are worth writing tests for. Let's see, how 'bout the following 12:
amstream atl cabinet crypt32 dplayx dpnet icmp imagehlp itss mswsock winaspi wsock32
Are any of those obviously poor choices for writing a conformance test? Or are there others that are obviously good choices, but that I missed?
Thanks, Dan
