Description

A fake UI backbone for investigations and unit testing.

Any relevant element within the Lumiera GTK UI is connected to the UI-Bus So for testing and investigation we need a white room setup to provide an instrumented backbone to run any test probes against. The test::Nexus allows to hook up a generic interface element, to participate in a simulated interface interaction.

This class test::Nexus acts as front-end for unit tests, while the actual implementation of a test rigged mock interface backbone remains an implementation detail. The purpose of this setup is to capture messages sent from elements operated within a test setup and directed at "core services" (that is, towards a presentation state manager or towards the Steam-Layer for command invocation). Test code may then verify the proper shape and incidence of these messages.
