Description

Though this is a simple program, it lacks any test automation. I don't even have a test suite. I just fire it up and if it appears to work I am happy. But over time, some automated testing should help.

Some basic bars we might automate.
- does it load without any errors or warnings
- can we detect error messages comming to the console log
- did it pass its internal self checks
