> I'm currently creating a suit of unit testing scripts for JW Lua, which is also a task that Lua is particularly well-suited for. If you know "Unit Tests" from used in concepts such as "Agile Software Development", you know what I'm talking about. Otherwise, unit testing is performed to make sure that a piece of code actually behaves the way it is meant to behave.
