\item Nodeunit documentation \\

% It might be better to put the URLs in the "References" section and add a [\ref{}] here
We are using nodeunit to test our virtual machine.
Since the c0 bytecode has many different opcodes that it uses, it is very easy
for mistakes in the virtual machine to go unnoticed.
To prevent this, we are using the nodeunit library to write unit tests for our
code.
This has already helped us to find and solve multiple bugs in the VM, and having
these unit tests will make sure that we can solve any bugs that occur as the
result of future changes in the code.

\item C0vm Assignment Handout \\

This document details how each opcode in the c0 bytecode language works,
as well as other important implementation details for the c0 virtual machine.
It has been an important reference while developing a JavaScript version
of the c0 virtual machine.

So far, the most important thing we have learned is that good unit tests are
vital for developing this sort of project. Without unit tests that verify
each opcode used by the virtual machine, many bugs would have gone unnoticed,
causing problems later down the line. If we only found these bugs by using
the frontend, they would have been much harder to debug, as there would have
been much more code to work through.
