| Jun 26, 2013 at 18:09 | comment | added | JNL | @JeffO I do deal with Algorithms but not much. Would love to move in that direction. | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 18:07 | comment | added | JeffO | Are you dealing with algorithms that are nondeterministic? | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 18:02 | comment | added | user40980 | Not at all (my previous employment dealing with money had exactly these problems). You have two problems, the first is the numeric type and floating point rounding... the second is making sure the calculations are as expected. Give me a bit, and I'll modify this question to reflect the numeric problem you are having. | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 17:37 | comment | added | JNL | One example will be dealing with decimal points. For example, say we are building a wall with special settings for dist x-0 to x=14.589 and then some arrangements from x=14.589 to x=end of the wall. The distance .589 when converted into binary are not the same....Especially if we add some distances...like 14.589+0.25 will not be equal to 14.84 in binary....I hope its not confusing? | |

Can you give an example of a calculation you would be testing? One typically wouldn't be unit testing raw math (unless you are testing your own numerical types), but testing something like distanceTraveled(startVel, duration, acceleration) would be tested.

fixed grammar, remove stray caps.

| Jun 26, 2013 at 16:42 | comment | added | JNL | I am building a Software Application with lot of mathematical caluclations. I understand NUNIT or JUNIT testing would be good, but would love to have an idea on how to approach the issues with Mathematical Calulations. | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 16:40 | comment | added | user40980 | Is there a specific problem you are facing? There are many ways to do testing, all right for some problem. Questions that can have multiple answers are a poor fit for the Q&A format. It would be best if you could define the problem you are having in a way that could have one right answer rather than casting a net for ideas and recommendations. | |
