Re: [ros-general] Testing

[Jason Filby]

Hi Ciobanu

There is already some documentation on kernel/subsystem regression 
tests. This part of ReactOS is not swappable with WINE, but covers 
drivers, overall stability of the OS and of course the win32
subsystem. 
You can find a doc here:
http://reactos.com/reactos_unified_library/reactos_developer_documentation/…

Missing from the doc is an explanation of how to load these tests
under 
Windows to confirm results, this is still in the pipeline.

Of course, WINE tests are equally as important. The great thing about

these tests are that we can share work with the WINE project, and we 
should be making more use of them because there are already many
tests 
written. Steven, perhaps you could write a doc on this subject for
the 
Library?

Thanks
Jason

Ok, so i got the basic ideeas .... but is there a list of tests to be 
implemented ? Maybe after every new user/kernel mode feature added the 
developers should add a description of a test to be done ?
