Tests are fine, but - If your test sucks, it proves nothing. That's what I took away from this afternoon's little discovery. I had not been able to reproduce the reported problems with the all new in tree view for Bf - and it was the sample feed setup (the test) that was wrong. My tests weren't deeply nested enough to show me that I simply wasn't following the tree nodes down all the way - and thus, missing some of the nodes. Having fixed that, the view now works as expected. That gets me a step closer to allowing 3.2 out the door - it was the last known issue.
Post 3.2, the code will switch to VW 7.2 - and a new runtime. With a new runtime, I'm breaking the system into more loadable components, so that updates are less monolithic. I'm also going to start looking into a way to save/load the feeds and feed info faster.
