3This directory is for regression test programs.
4
5A regression test program is one that will exercise a particular bit of the
6system to check that we have not reintroduced an old bug.
7
8Tests that are for parts of the base system should go into a directory here
9which is the same as their path relative to src/, for example the uuencode(1)
10utility resides in src/usr.bin/uuencode so its regression test resides in
11src/tools/regression/usr.bin/uuencode.
12
13Base system regression tests should prefix their test results with 'PASS' or
14'FAIL' accordingly, to make checking for failed tests easier.  For now the
15tests are very free-form, and it's up to you to do that.  Eventually, it
16should be a part of the regression test framework.
17
18Please make a subdir per other regression test, and add a brief description to
19this file.
