"reasonable" is a very wishy-washy standard :-) My view is that test-decriptions SHALL live with the code they test. But there is no particular reason why the test-tool, which interprets those test-descriptions and perform the test as described need to. Insisting they do so, also, almost by definition, limits their abilities. For instance a test-tool living in src cannot have a graphical UX. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
