Unit tests are declared in the test/runtests.jl file in a package. Typically, this file begins using MyModule using Base.Test The basic unit of testing is the @test macro. This macro is like an assertion of sorts. Any boolean expression can be tested in the @test macro: @test 1 + 1 == 2 @test...

Exceptions encountered while running a test will fail the test, and if the test is not in a test set, terminate the test engine. Usually, this is a good thing, because in most situations exceptions are not the desired result. But sometimes, one wants to test specifically that a certain exception is ...
