Copperwick

About

A small workshop for useful add-ons

Copperwick is where Robin builds add-ons for World of Warcraft. Robin has a background in software engineering and plays the game with friends, which is where the ideas for these add-ons come from.

Why another add-on site?

Most add-ons are built over a weekend and tested in the live game. That is fine, until a patch breaks your favorite one on raid night. Copperwick add-ons are built like real products: clear goals, automated tests and careful releases.

How each add-on is built

  • It starts with a written design: what problem it solves, and what it should never do.
  • Offline tests run against a mock of the game's API, including a fuzzer with 10,000 random cases.
  • A checker compares every game function the add-on uses with Blizzard's own UI source for each game version.
  • A one-command self-test in the game collects the facts before each release.

Feedback

Found a bug or have an idea? Feedback channels will open here soon. Until then, run /grf fulltest in the game: it writes a report that makes bugs much easier to fix.
