This is why, if you follow the order of tests in the Atffile, +you will notice that they start checking the most basic things and end +checking the less common ones. Furthermore, tests try not to use features +tested by further tests in the lists. + +However, the above is not the most appropriate testing procedure when you +have a working file system because some separation in test programs does +not make sense afterwards. + +Many of the tests here are applicable to any file system. They should be +refactored to be reusable on any mounted file system, which could also +remove the need to do the mount/unmount steps in each and every test case. + +Possibly take a look at the file system tests in FreeBSD. They seem to be +much more complete, even though they are written in Perl and therefore not +directly usable. |
