# 228975 29-Dec-2011 uqs

Spelling fixes for tools/

Add some $FreeBSD$ tags so svn will allow the commit.


# 192891 27-May-2009 edwin

Add the regression test for bin/date.


# 169852 22-May-2007 dds

Document the .in .out file naming conventions adopted in commit_prep.pl's
exclusions list for header checking.


# 167545 14-Mar-2007 dds

Document a procedure for testing individual binaries under development.


# 139596 02-Jan-2005 marcel

Replace a mention of the ia64_unaligned directory with one of the
ia64 subdirectory. All ia64 specific regression tests live under
the ia64 directory.


# 137587 11-Nov-2004 nik

Switch over to a different, more flexible test output protocol that's
understood by Perl's Test::Harness module and prove(1) commands.

Update README to describe the new protocol. The work's broken down into
two main sets of changes.

First, update the existing test programs (shell scripts and C programs)
to produce output in the ok/not ok format, and to, where possible, also
produce a header describing the number of tests that are expected to be
run.

Second, provide the .t files that actually run the tests. In some cases
these are copies of, or very similar too, scripts that already existed.
I've kept the old scripts around so that it's possible to verify that
behaviour under this new system (in terms of whether or not a test fails)
is identical to the behaviour under the old system.

Add a TODO file.


# 126049 20-Feb-2004 green

Add my getaddrinfo(3) stress-tester as gaithrstress. The most obvious
regressions would be to see the program or your kernel crashing.

If you want to give it something to really test out, try a much more
reentrant version of the resolver.
<URL:http://green.homeunix.org/~green/reentrant_resolver.patch>
Any Mozilla-based browser would show you a clear difference.


# 118262 31-Jul-2003 pb

Add a regression test for the big pipe bug.

Suggested by: silby


# 101902 15-Aug-2002 alfred

# 97996 07-Jun-2002 jmallett

Describe ia64_unaligned and geom directories. I hope I got these right.


# 95538 27-Apr-2002 jmallett

Prefix tests with PASS and FAIL, to make grepping easier, and note this in
the README.

This affects only the base-system regression tests, of course.


# 95138 20-Apr-2002 jmallett

Start adding framework for userland regression tests, and tests for
uuencode and uudecode.


# 88242 20-Dec-2001 jkh

These are regression tests for the P1003.1B scheduler.

Approved by: jkh

Fix a couple of typos.


# 11494 15-Oct-1995 phk

README reads:
This directory is for regression test programs.

A regression test program is one that will excercise a particular bit of the
system to check that we have not reintroduced an old bug.

Please make a subdir per program, and add a brief description to this file.
