A tutorial on using the test framework is available here

Mark announced this on the RexxLa list back in February in the context of
this appeal

As I understand it a future new version 5.0.0 is available from the build
machine.
You can find it here <http://build.oorexx.org/downloads/>.
For windows platforms you download an installer, just like you did when you
last upgraded and you can just install it on your machine. When you have
finished testing, you can just get the installer for your current version
from sourceforge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/> (or your
download folder) and install it back. The only exception I am aware of is
if you have installed an independent version of ooDialog, in which case you
will need to reinstall that after you have installed your previous version
of ooRexx. For other platforms, you will no doubt know what to do.
I assume there is some value in your just downloading the new version and
checking that what you run on the old version still runs on the new version
and raising bug reports <http://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/bugs/> where it
doesn't.
There is more value still in you running the test suite.
What Rick is asking for is for you to read Mark's paper and offer to write
new test cases for the heaps of new and exciting functionality that is in
5.0.0.
Rick, I anticipate having a bit of free time over the next few weeks, could
you suggest something that I might write a test case for?
thanks,
Jon
