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.
