Re: [Firebird-test] FBT - firebird tests

[Luis F. <lou...@no...>]

Hello,

In developing the test scripts does it matter what environment is used.
I was thinking perhaps of a Delphi/Kylix app to serve as  a framework. 
Of course, that leaves out Solaris and others. Whatever the front end
app is,  I think that by keeping the tests in a format that is easy to
get to and use, several different tools could be developed by users for
either Open Source or internal testing.  I have two extra machines that
I plan on loading Linux on for testing interbase and have not had the
time to figure TCS out. I would be glad to get involved in the testing
effort.
