Description : test support functions for Emacs
This package provides functions to support ert, the Emacs Regression
Test framework. It includes:
* a set of predicates for comparing strings, buffers and file contents;
* explainer functions for all predicates giving useful output;
* macros for creating many temporary buffers at once, and for restoring
the buffer list;
* methods for testing indentation, by comparison or "round-tripping";
* methods for testing fontification;
Assess aims to be a stateless as possible, leaving Emacs unchanged
whether the tests succeed or fail, with respect to buffers, open
files and so on; this helps to keep tests independent from each
other. Violations of this will be considered a bug.
Assess aims also to be as noiseless as possible, reducing and
suppressing extraneous messages where possible, to leave a clean ert
output in batch mode.
