@haitchfive<p><strong>zen80 update: improved tests</strong></p><p><strong><em>Apart from the already substantial unit tests, we now have two additional and rather stringent tests:</em></strong></p><ol><li><p>This test loads the ZX Spectrum 128 ROMs (0 and 1) and runs that machine's initialisation process. Then it shows a statistical analysis of the instruction coverage that's been executed during rom initialisation. (total percentage of different opcodes executed for each instruction group)</p></li><li><p>The second big test implements traps as barebones CP/M shims, loads ZEXDOC.COM and runs its extensive stress test (this can be long). </p></li></ol><p>Work is ongoing to support ZEXALL.COM as well, an even more stringent version of zexdoc that also tests undocumented registers and quirks of the Z80, one of the hardest tests known. This will be next, after I'm certain that this passes all ZEXDOC tests without a hitch. So far so good!</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/zen80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zen80</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/emulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulator</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Speccy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Speccy</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>golang</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/z80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>z80</span></a></p>

Anthony Accioly<p>Hey Fedi. Quick question: Any good screenshot annotation tools for Android? I'm looking for something like Shottr, with basic cropping, adding text, arrows, drawing rectangles, and possibly blurring text. I have a strong preference for FOSS but am willing to pay a one-time fee for exceptional software (no subscriptions). It should work well on both mobile and tablets.</p><p><a href="https://accioly.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://accioly.social/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> <a href="https://accioly.social/tags/ScreenshotAnnotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenshotAnnotation</span></a> <a href="https://accioly.social/tags/Tools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tools</span></a> <a href="https://accioly.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a></p>
