Or did you mean something else?
We often have large structured systems where testing system X is done by testing subsidiary systems A, B, and C that X depends on. Consider, for example, if one were to write a test-op for CLSQL. One might then have subsidiary systems for the various DB backends, and one would have the test-op for CLSQL run the test-op on each backend (or some subset of the backends that are turned on). best, r _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list asdf-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
