1. Provide regression testing for other existing or new transports, as
you have suggested. I believe that the first candidate for this should
be the FIX transport. There three reasons for this:
I will do the regression test suite for the FIX protocol, but can only
commit something after December.
* The FIX transport belongs to the category of transports that are
based on AbstractTransport(Listener|Sender). Since there is no
regression test suite for the FIX transport (and not everybody has the
required knowledge to manually test the transport), this makes changes
in AbstractTransport(Listener|Sender) quite hazardous, because there
is always a risk of accidentally breaking the FIX transport in some
subtle way.
* Given the nature of the FIX protocol, I guess that the quality
requirements are a bit higher than for other transports and a test
suite would certainly help to guarantee that quality.

* I'm not familiar with FIX, but AFAIK all the necessary
infrastructure to run this protocol is available as Java components so
that the tests could be completely self-contained.
Yes, all FIX components come as Java components (we are using QFJ) so
the test can run as a self-contained test suite.
