I know the SQlite developers take testing quite seriously http://www.sqlite.org/testing.html
with 679 times as much test code as actual code in the database. In fact, I've often pointed to the above page when trying to get the developers of the Sage maths software to pay a bit more attention to testing. http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/eba06b53be7cd176/e938667e199bfce4?lnk=gst&q=sqlite#e938667e199bfce4 However, I was somewhat surprised when I run 'make check' to see there is no test suite shipped as part of sqlite. Whilst I realise you do a lot of testing and it's impractical for an end user to do all this, I would have thought a minimal test suite that tests 100 or so things would be useful. Often bugs in compilers or operating systems display bugs that are not seen by the developers. That would be especially useful if someone is using a rarer platform like AIX, HP-UX, or building in a less common way (like forcing 64-bit builds on Solaris, as someone was asking about).
