Description

The idea is to have a lain-test.lua, which requires lain-test-{util, widget, layout}.lua, each of which requires all elements of the respective submodule with all possible options set. Tests could be performed with Xephyr as follows:

Xephyr :1 -screen 1280x800 2> stdout.txt & DISPLAY=:1 awesome -c lain-test.lua

This structure and workflow will serve as a unit, integration and system test suite.

They will also be used to do regression testing for each new commit (e.g., using Travis CI).
