this, and just generally though that some sort of automated testing is
needed, and thus started collecting ideas.
<tschwinge> antrik: You're of course invited to fix that.

+(After discussing the [[anatomy_of_a_hurd_system]].)

+ <antrik> so that's what your question is actually about?
+ <foocraft> so what I would imagine is a set of only-this-server tests for
+ each server, and then we can have fun adding composite tests
+ <foocraft> thus making debugging the composite scenarios a bit less tricky
+ <antrik> indeed
+ <foocraft> and if you were trying to pass a composite test, it would also
+ help knowing that you still didn't break the server-only test
+ <antrik> there are so many different things that can be tested... the
+ summer will only suffice to dip into this really :-)
+ <foocraft> yeah, I'm designing my proposal to focus on 1) make/use a
+ testing framework that fits the Hurd case very well 2) write some tests
+ and docs on how to write good tests
+ <antrik> well, doesn't have to be *one* framework... unit testing and
+ regression testing are quite different things, which can be covered by
+ different frameworks
