[aerogear-dev] Providing Tests with PR's

[Kris Borchers]

I want to throw this out to the list for feedback. Something we have been doing for a while now with the jQuery project is to require a unit test(s) for any PR or change committed. This has worked very well in two ways. First, it provides a built in way to see the issue being fixed/implemented within the PR. That way, the reviewer doesn't have to build their own test(s) to see if the issue being addressed is actually fixed. Second, it helps prevent regressions down the road since more of the code is covered by tests so you know if some change you think is unrelated breaks something that fixed days, weeks, years ago.

I would like to suggest we make this policy for at least the JS library (since that is the one I review most often) but I believe this policy would be useful across the entire project. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Kris
