[mary-dev] Error Handling in MARY TTS: Start of new guidelines for writing code in MARY TTS

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

Hello Marc

While everything you presented is very reasonable and very much needed
I wonder if you thought about extending the development tool set to
ensure software quality. In QA not only styles and guidelines are
important, quite signficant parts of QA are processes and tools.
Process make sure the guarantees you want to provide are indeed
provided as for tools they help you in this task. To list a few of
them

1) FindBugs (http://findbugs.sourceforge.net) will help you to ensure
code style, function contracts, etc
2) Hudson (http://hudson-ci.org) continuous integration ensures all
your builds are in shape
3) Eclemma (www.eclemma.org/) helps to improve test coverage and find
rare paths in application.

> Code quality is an important goal, and MARY TTS sometimes falls short of
> it. The MARY TTS core team is now (ten years late, I know...) defining
> guidelines for how to write code in MARY TTS.
>
> Introducing these new principles is a process; we start with a central
> issue, Error Handling. Please have a look at the following set of slides:
>
> http://mary.opendfki.de/repos/trunk/doc/ErrorHandling.pdf
>
> I am sure the ideas in these slides are not the perfect "right thing" to
> do; but they seem like a good step in the right direction.
>
> All *new code* submitted to the MARY TTS repository, in the trunk and in
> all branches, should please observe the new guidelines. Old code will be
> updated as time permits.
>
>
> If there are concerns, comments or questions about these guidelines,
> feel free to discuss on this list.
