no, we should have tests for all (fixed) tickets in fate ideally
but in reality most tickets lack a corresponding test
I tried both in outreachy and as well in GSoC to improve this situation
with student projects but both only moved this forward by a small
step. Its a large amount of work to create robust, portable and
practical tests for "all" tickets and everything else.
The way out to get this actually done would be to pay a developer to
create tests for "all" tickets in fate. I belive carl would be the
ideal one to do this work as he has since a very long time always tested
and kept track of all our tickets.
I did suggest a while ago to someone at google that funding such
project would make sense but IIRC i never heared back.
if some company would fund something like this, i belive this would be
very usefull in the long run for code quality
