For the Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI) patch I needed a test suite which would handle concurrent sessions which interleaved statements in predictable ways. I was told pgTAP wasn't a good choice for that and went with Markus Wanner's dtester package. The SSI patch adds a "dcheck" build target which is not included in any others to run the dtester tests. I don't know if dtester meets the other needs people have, or whether this is a complementary approach, but it seemed worth mentioning. -Kevin
