Re: [ros-general] Testing

[Jason Filby]

Hi Ciobanu

There's no list and I don't think that there should be one. The
Windows 
DDK is the place to look for APIs that need tests for the kernel mode

regression tests, and the SDK for the WINE tests. These tests should 
first be written under Windows so that we can verify our compliance
with 
the APIs.

Cheers
Jason
