Does the linux kernel have any kind of regression test package? If so, where can I find it? If not, does anyone know of ongoing attempts to create one?
A quick web search gave me a few pointers to attempts at this:
The Google-foo is weak in this one. :) You missed the biggest one of all:
Too true. One of the little known secrets of working with linux is that the web is generally the best way to learn things - not the source code. This is messing with my head ;-) but at least I'm getting much better at finding things then when I started. I am, however, still only an egg (at searching).

Enjoy. If this doesn't address your needs, feel free to contribute to it until it does. :)
This looks great. Thank you. And quite seriously, I suspect that test development is a great way to learn - doubly so if you then turn around and fix the bugs your tests uncover. And I've never yet seen a project where the tests weren't suffering from bitrot or worse, so there's sure to be work to be done. -- Arlie
