John Maraist will talk about the NST unit testing framework for Common Lisp, which he has been developing at SIFT.
NST: A Unit Test Framework for Common Lisp
In this talk we will introduce the Lisp unit test framework NST. SIFT developed NST for internal use on a number of ongoing Lisp projects, and we believe that the system is now mature enough to release more broadly. In this talk we will review the notion of a unit test, and introduce the use of NST in Lisp project development. NST's implementation makes interesting use of a number of Lisp features --- macro expansion, compile-time execution, metaobject protocols --- and we will discuss its current implementation as well as the lessons we learned along the way.
