We need tests

[lembark]

Why? Because I am getting tired of testing everything manually.

Coming into this quite late, but I could try and write some
tests if I knew more about what you were testing.

Q: What is it that you are testing manually?

@lembark thank you for your interest!

README has a nice list of examples. It is slightly outdated, newer versions of the bots tend to do a bit more than that (e.g. provide a link to the log), but it is still a very good list of various behaviors.

Basically, every time we do significant changes I copy-paste these examples to see if everything is alright. Usually something is broken :)

I see two ways to have tests:

1. spawn an IRC server (Test::IRC::Server?) and test the whole bot by sending the commands from another IRC::Client
2. or just write plain unit tests. Maybe focus on Whateverable.pm6 first.

I tend to prefer the former, as it easily gives high coverage with only a few tests, but feel free to do whatever you like. As long as we don't have to test stuff manually it is alright :)

Currently there are also Perl 5 bots in this repo. Forget about them, we will switch to 6lang bots soon.

Feel free to join #whateverable on freenode to discuss details.

Done! See fa3eb4e and e3a9fc3.

I did not write any tests for Benchable, hoping that @MasterDuke17 will do that (he knows Benchable better).
