It hasn't been used in many years. It should be flushed; see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.scons.devel/10707for instance. QMTest was thought to be a good test framework for Python programs; we got pretty deeply into it for a while, but eventually discovered we had "extended" it so far we weren't really using QMTest itself hardly at all. The tests *might* still run under QMTest but I don't think anyone cares anymore. And btw, I just added -jN to runtest.py, so per the above wiki page, we can now run the tests in parallel (with no QMTest). With -j10 on my average dual-core laptop, the tests take about 15 minutes now, and the test results seem OK. And we also have test timing and time reporting now, as well as out-of-core tool testing and test fixtures. So at this point I think there's no further reason to consider QMTest. I'll mark that wiki page as pretty much all complete now. -- Gary
