Hello, You should start by looking at the information in the TestSuite wiki page. Try to get familiar with the examples referenced from there: look for the code, read it, try to do some edits, etc. Then you can also dive into the code in tools/regression/ and tools/test/ to see what would need to be migrated. Here, you can use the prove(1) tool to run the tests that end in .t, so you could give that a try and see how that works as well. And, lastly, you can also look at the NetBSD source tree under the src/tests/ directory[1] or at Garret's GitHub repository[2]. There are many test programs there that can be easily made to run on FreeBSD. Getting one of those, hooking it into the build and preparing a patch for that would be a nice exercise. Hope this helps. 1: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/tests/?only_with_tag=MAIN 2: https://github.com/yaneurabeya/freebsd
