At next month's Michigan eXtreme Programming Enthusiasts meeting I and another XPer will be demonstrating the act of legacy testing and refactoring. To do this, we have decided to make Squeak our target platform. Therefore, I am putting out a call for suggestions on what needs tested and refactored in Squeak. It can be in the basic image or in add-on packages.

Some background on the exercise might help you help me in finding what needs tested. So here goes...

(+) we have about 1 (one) hour in which to do this exercise (which probably equates to 30 - 40 minutes of coding)

(+) the pair of programmers will be two veteran XPers and testers, one of which is a long time veteran of Smalltalk (my partner) and one of which is fairly new to Smalltalk (myself)

(+) we would like to address one or more of the following: (+) testing the untouchable (code that cannot be changed) (+) testing the touchable (code that can be changed) (+) testing the unexpected (+) testing the expected (+) etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

If we get far enough we will be more than happy to post a changeset of the tests/refactorings we make.

Thanks in advance for your generosity and aid.
