1. There's no regression testing with cyrus at all. I did try and
start a cyrus regression test a while back (just a perl script to test
basic IMAP functionality) but there wasn't really interest in taking
it up. I still strongly believe that some form of basic regression
test that is built up more and more over time is is important.
I'm interested in a nice regression suite.
I've been doing some OpenLDAP stuff recently and they have (what seems
like) 2 hours worth of tests that occur once you build the software.
For a long time, I've been meaning to look at how they do it and see if
a similar approach could be used with Cyrus IMAPd, but other projects
always take a priority.
The nice thing about regression testing is that we can start small. If
there was some agreed upon methodology then when anyone (e.g. Ken,
someone submitting a patch, someone reporting a bug, etc) can create a
tests to show how a bug gets triggered or that new code/patch doesn't
introduce bugs.
I agree that a test suite is something that we need. I'll add this to
our TODO list. As always, code contributions are always welcome.
