Each regression test must be +contained in a test directory whose name is "its", where +is the ITS number, and it must be entirely executed by a script, contained +in that directory and with the same name of the directory. It can exploit +all the helpers provided for common tests (variables in scripts/defines.sh, +data files in data/, ...), but it should simultaneously be as self contained +and as general as possible. Warning: occasionally, data files and +shell variables may change, so limit their use to real needs. + +For example, if an issue only appears with a certain database type, the +test itself should only run when invoked for that database type; +otherwise, if the issue appears whatever backend is used, the test should +be parameteric, so that it is run with the backend selected at run-time +via the "-b" switch of the "run" script. + +Regression tests are prepared on a voluntary basis, so don't expect all +bugs to have a test any soon. When the issue reporter provides a simple, +yet complete means to reproduce the bug she's reporting, this may speed up +the process. In case, only put neutral data in bug exploitation reports. -- cgit v1.2.3
