[Insight-developers] Algorithm validation in ITK tests

[Gaëtan Lehmann]

Cory,

Most of the tests, especially for the filters producing image, are  
testing the output of the class.
The image validation is performed by the test driver.

Can you point to a specific test doing some which seems wrong?

For quite complete test example, I would suggest to look at the tests  
added by Sophie Chen and Luis for the label map contribution – for  
example:

   Testing/Code/Review/itkShapeOpeningLabelMapFilterTest1.cxx

and the related part in

   Testing/Code/Review/CMakeLists.txt


Regards,

Gaëtan
