*cracks neck*
Okay, if I'm seriously going to let myself flip out and go all test engineer on DW, there has got to be a better method than "clicking random things and see what's not there/what breaks". I mean, all I've noticed thus far is that a significant number of the FAQ pages have nothing, but I'm chalking that up to "omg, documentation and my damn code isn't working and I will deal with this later".
I have spent enough time debugging Verilog code to understand that sentiment completely.
Seriously, I'm in this state where I want to help, but I'm far too used to getting handed a testbench and told "go do this and report back to me". Ugh, it's reminding me of some of the choices I made in choosing to go straight hardware. (Beyond some vague mumblings about learning Python one day, all I know is Verilog and that's very much a hardware language, so unless DW wants me to design chips for them, that skill ain't seeing much use here)
Is there a way to figure out what seriously needs testing, go test it, and then come back with a stack of data on what works and what doesn't?
