> Urchin: Unix-style tests, Thomas Levine
> 18:45, Stone Creek Bar & Lounge: 140 E 27th St
> 
> Abstract
> 
> Urchin is a portable shell test harness based on the idea that a test
> case should be an ordinary Unix-style program. It's called "Urchin"
> because sea urchin shells are called "tests".
> 
> I'll discuss how one uses Urchin, and I'll show examples of tests
> written in Urchin. Urchin is mostly (entirely?) used for running shell
> tests to test shell programs, so I'll also compare it with other
> approaches to testing shell programs.
> 
> Speaker Bio
> 
> Thomas Levine is a neodada artist with an interest in sleep. He enjoys
> writing intuitive and minimal user interfaces, like Urchin, that are
> thus easy to learn and easy to reverse-engineer.
