I don't want to appear too lazy, but I wouldn't want to reinvent the
wheel, if there is the possibility that one of you definitely clever
guys in here has developed something nice in this direction.
The other way round. Would there be any interest in something like this,
if it were available?

I'm not that an experienced programmer either so even hints on a good
methodology (pointers to good books included) would help me a lot.

Test?! IDL code? tee hee hee.

Sorry to be so helpful, I haven't heard of any framework for IDL testing and
I would guess most people have rolled their own.
