[Expat-discuss] xmlwf test harness

[Scott Bronson]

In writing the xmlwf man page, I found it useful to set up a small
functional test harness to check a few things.  I've made it available
at:

    http://www.trestle.com/linux/test-xmlwf.tar.gz


What is a functional test?  Well, unit tests typically ensure the
different parts of a system all work as expected.  Functional tests
ignore the parts and make sure the system as a whole works properly.
Large projects often make extensive use of both.

This harness could be expanded without too much trouble to provide a
comprehensive test suite for xmlwf and Expat.  All it needs is a
bunch of test files.  It should compliment very nicely Fred's unit
tests.

If anyone has .xml files that demonstrate either buggy expat behavior,
or complex but correct behavior, I'd be happy to integrate them.
