[Gambas-devel] Suggestion : Gambas Unit Testing

[Julio Sanchez]

Hi, I have added the code Adrien, a  form to display the results of the test
and  I created 3  component  (according gb.qt4 is used, gb.gtk or gb.gui),
to install in Ide gambas3

Here you have the article and a video of how to use (in Spanish):

Merry Christmas!!!
