#287 Document test scenarios in the libelf test suite

[Joseph Koshy]

A list of test scenarios is useful when our developers return to test suite development after a hiatus. Such a list would also be useful in finding "holes" in the test suite's coverage.

Each test scenario description needs:

• A short name & ID
• A description of the point of the test.
• A list of tags.
• Links to the APIs being tested.
• Links to the implementation of the tests.

Investigate available tools for managing lists of test scenarios.

Notes:

• One option would be to structure test case lists using XML or YAML. We could then create a tool that check these descriptions for syntactic consistency, and for other properties.
  See also:
  • Kwalify, a Ruby tool for YAML validation.
  • Rx, multi-language suite for YAML validation.
