Do you use TeX ? The only testing I do is with my test files, and it took me long enough to get those to work 8) I noticed that some biber scripts use ruby, but my minimal test of (binary) biber works without ruby, so I think that my test coverage is quite minimal.
I've used TeX fairly extensively in the past, but not recently. However TeX is not livetex. TeX only takes a source file (whatever.tex usually) and creates a dvi file. That is one program written by Knuth and works very well. Other programs are then needed like dvips.
The current version is 3.1415926. That is, of course, pi. Knuth adds one digit for every change. I think I was using 3.14159 in 1993 so that tells you how much it has changed.
TeX is extremely powerful, but the syntax takes a bit of effort to understand. It's not our role to do extensive testing. If a minimal program works, then problems need to be addressed upstream.
