Description (last modified by Nick Draper) (diff)

Add a new wiki page under Documentation->Development developers, i.e. somewhere on this wiki: http://www.mantidproject.org/Category:Development

This new page should contain information about dataset useful when we do testing and development, i.e. a reference place for getting hold of relevant datasets when testing and developing.

A talk with Anders showed that the example data sets would be those already used by the unit tests in

...\mantid\Test\AutoTestData or ...\mantid\Code\Mantid\instrument\IDFs_for_UNIT_TESTING .

Also I realised and pointed out that data created by test helper functions should also be covered, so that the a developer could use one of these, to avoid unnecesary use of a file.

To test, go to http://www.mantidproject.org/Category:Development look for a page about Data and Helips for Unit tests. Read that page decide whether it is useful and other developers are able to improve it easily.

I made some minor changes to emphasize the fact that new tests should not load files at all unless that is what they are actually testing. This extends to slimmed down IDFs as our XML parsing is really quite slow.
