A small testing update: I just uploaded a regression test for RT 124482 (http://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=124482), which also contains a very preliminary scaffold for single-bug regression testing. While it's not a huge step, I'd like to encourage us to do two things:
1- where possible, when reporting bugs (and submitting patches), please include a test and add it to src/tests. Not all tickets can have tests written as easily as 124482, but where we can, add tests. That will make the gatekeepers lives easier, etc, etc, etc. 2- take a look at src/tests/rt-124482.pl and use & give feedback on the test_scaffold. I think the test_scaffold function in this test is pretty reasonable for testing for a single functional bug; i.e., it is a low-level function we can use per bug/test which has a precondition, test, and postcondition, which makes sense for basic behavioral functional tests, but not for stability, performance or load tests. That result could then get rolled up into results for Test::More at a later date. It could clearly use improvement and feedback -- if a few of us start using it (and figuring out where it doesn't do what we need), I'm sure we'll be able to improve it.
