Hi,

I have just created my first ever plugin and would like to write some  
test’s for it, any suggestions on where to start would be great.

I have this code in my site\_test.rb file

require ‘test/unit’  
require File.dirname( **FILE** ) + ‘/…/lib/site’

class SiteTest \< Test::Unit::TestCase  
include Site

```
def test_getRegion

end

```

end

which I belive relates to this method

module Site  
def getRegion()  
oData = Data.new(@request.env)  
return oData.regionName  
end  
end

I was thinking that it may be possible to test that somthing is always  
returned, how can this be done?

Thanks,  
john
