I am not familiar with the details of particular test frameworks but it seems to me that one should be able to distinguish between "known bugs" and "expected failures". A test that is expected to fail might represent a proven limitation of an given algorithm, not a bug at all. In fact it would be considered a bug if such a test passed. Of course it might be possible in principle to convert such a test to a passing test with a suitable change of logic. If a particular test framework makes the assumption that this is always possible and only implements passing tests as successful, this should be clearly stated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
