Testing

[Jason Filby]

Hi all

On the topic of testing and testing teams:

We really don't need an organized group of individuals looking for
bugs 
just yet. The bugs are more than obvious to the developers - and
people 
who try out ReactOS don't exactly hold back when they notice
something 
not working properly.

What we really do need is an organized group of individuals writing 
regression tests. This is not as hard as writing code for ReactOS
itself 
- but still very important. When code is modified it very likely 
introduces new bugs that may not be immediately obvious - we need 
regression tests to keep this in check. There is a framework, but 
there's a ton of work to be done.

Cheers
Jason

Yes we also need to make sure we dont spend years rewritting tests that
already exist in the WINE regression test suite. We need to make some
minor changes to our regression suite to allow for people to write WINE
style regression tests for Win32 componates so we can share code and
dump most of the existing tests in reactos/apps/tests.

Thanks
Steven

Then, there should be set a compatible framework and create some sort of 
documentation on this, for people like me, that could help with this, but are 
not aware of wine "code style". I think you should set up a list of regtests 
to be done and hopefully someone( consider me in ) could do this job.
