They were probably discussed (at a guess, on the libc-alpha list)
before being committed. Those are the type of google matches I was
referring to.
But in general, I am not aware of any documentation explaining what
a test if doing. That is true for most projects, not just glibc.
Often, the test script may explain what it is doing - but for us
mere mortals the details will usually be hard to understand because
we lack context, e.g. about how the test actually runs. Some are
fairly simple, others either delete their output before the tests
have finished, or require specific knowledge to understand what they
are doing.
