program test framework

[bob@gnu.ai.mit.edu]

Nora might find some use for DejaGnu, not only for testing her
programs but for testing the Lojban machine grammar.  The dialogue
program might be helpful.   I have never used this package, but this
announcement sound interesting.


    DejaGnu 1.0, `expect' 4.5.2 alpha, and Tcl 6.7

    DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs.  Its purpose is to
    provide a single front end for all tests.  The flexibility and
    consistency of the DejaGnu framework make it easy to write tests for any
    program.

    Source for `expect' (which runs scripts to conduct dialogs with
    programs) and Tcl (an embeddable tool command language) are both
    provided in this package, since DejaGnu uses them and they are useful
    programs in their own right.
