This was definitely "solved" a couple of months ago, so it seems we don't
really have any problems to start designing the testing framework.
As for the implementation proposals, I would like to start doing
something, if possible. Is there any information page or Wiki where we can
write down some ideas and coordinate? Should I setup a new project at Alioth,
so we can install some Wiki and start writing things?
I also would like to collect opinions as to how the system should look
like. My 2 cents, as I said, are that I think that all tests should be
"integrated" somehow, so their execution method and output formats are the
same. We already have that with DejaGNU, but I can understand that people
don't like Tcl (I don't like it, either :-) ). I made a couple of random tests
with the libtap format (Perl tests' output format), but I'm not sure they are
the way to go.
Anyhow, I would like to start some testing framework prototype, even if
it's completely different from the one I already made... But, this time, I
would like to know your opinions before starting another to-be-thrown-away
testing framework prototype :-)
Regards,
