[Insight-developers] Algorithm validation in ITK tests

[Cory Quammen]

Dear ITK developers,

I'm writing some tests for some ITK classes to be submitted to gerrit
soon. Looking around at existing tests, I find it striking that many
(most?) of them merely exercise the public interface of a class and do
not perform validation of results produced by the class. Is this by
intent or by omission?

Obviously, it would be much faster for me to simply exercise the
interface of these classes, but that just doesn't seem right.

Thanks,
Cory
