My test code for a class is about the same size as the code for the class for both Python and Java. I've never seen a case where that factor of two was critical, but I haven't written code to be dynamically downloaded. On the plus side, it's really convenient to see what's been tested when you think you've got a bug, and it's real easy to add a new test when you find one. ________________________ Alan Karp Principal Scientist Virus Safe Computing Initiative Hewlett-Packard Laboratories 1501 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 (650) 857-3967, fax (650) 857-7029 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Alan_Karp
