Yes, the testing and test design both matter hugely ... well designed tests matter little if the actual testing is goofy, and great testing against a weak test plan doesn't help much either. I think it's good to acknowledge everyone involved. I don't think I knew about that involvement from Laurentiu. Maybe it would have been better to say "...referring to Zylin's work". > Now if the code quality is good, then this sort of effort confirms the quality > without generating bug reports and I could only wish that these efforts were > more visible.

Anyone who's done Real Testing is very much aware of that type of "iceberg" effect! :) As in: running the tests (perhaps automated) can cover a few thousands of cases ... yet only turn up a few dozen bugs. - Dave _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
