+The original \cite{wang1998line} leaves something to be desired for a practical
+implementation: it is not straightforward to implement the algorithm from the
+paper alone.
+
+In this paper we describe {\WM} in a detail that is more useful for algorithm:
+each section will be expanded, with more elaborate and exact illustrations for
+every step of the algorithm.
 
 \subsection{Automated tests}
 
+As part of the algorithm realization, an automated test suite has been
+developed. Shapes to test each function have been hand-crafted and expected
+results have been manually calculated. The test suite executes parts of the
+algorithm against a predefined set of geometries, and asserts that the output
+matches the resulting hand-calculated geometry.
+
+The full test suite can be executed with a single command, and completes in a
+few seconds. Having an easily accessible test suite boosts confidence that no
+unexpected regressions have been added while modifying the algorithm.
