Request for Mathematica code review: generating test cases

[martinmodrak]

@Bob_Carpenter

I am not sure this thread should be turned into a discussion about best practices for tests in Stan math.

But @martinmodrak, you’re the one who opened this can of worms by saying that our current tests were not best practice because they were low precision.

I was trying to make the narrow point that this thread is not a good place for general discussion on tests, but I see that the sentence is ambiguous. Anyway I’ve moved the discussion to Discussing tests in Stan math so that it is obvious people are discussing tests, please continue the discussion on tests in general (if you want so) in the new thread. Discussion specific to using Mathematica for precomputed values should IMHO stay here.
