crash course in unittests

[Lionel Elie Mamane]

Thanks for these pointers. I think I mostly got it, but it fails for
me, and not at the place I expected it to.

Could you please take a look at branch private/lmamane/basetest ?

It contains:

 commit d965888eb4a0be4c0bdd33fb0b401546de48af0b
 Author: Lionel Elie Mamane <lionel at mamane.lu>
 Date:   Sat Aug 3 10:50:14 2013 +0200

    proposed changes to other unittests

    Change-Id: I64769fee917c5d8c6450a19ad53fdf795e280c98

Just things I found weird in existing tests I took inspiration of, but
before pushing to master, want a quick check by you.

Then it contains:

 commit bbcc93b3ad2eec0a717b5c59053519cc668cb27b
 Author: Lionel Elie Mamane <lionel at mamane.lu>
 Date:   Sat Aug 3 10:49:41 2013 +0200

    first stab at unittest for fdo#67685

    Change-Id: I44500717109a026d7c71e6494daacbea1f224263

Which is the unittest I wanted to add, but it does not work. It fails
at:

Test name: DialogSaveTest::test
assertion failed
- Expression: xComponent.is()
- loading failed:
file:///home/master/src/libreoffice/workdirs/master/dbaccess/
qa/extras/testdocuments/testDialogSave.odb

Dunno what wrong. Thanks in advance for your help.
