    ...any possible failure cases the code had to handle. Nexedi used Python's unit testing framework to write extensive tests of the SyncML implementation. These tests could test every part of the SyncML component, especially those that would be difficult to test in the field, and report any problems back to the developer. Once this was done, the ERP5SyncML component became reliable. In the process of testing, some minor bugs occurring in complex situations were found in the Python libraries. Because ...
