Re: Understanding of simpletest utility

Hi juan ,

many thanks for the clarification . i am shell programmer and moving
towards tcl as part of automating the test suite for our company
telecom project . In the process i searched on the internet and found
your implementation of regression test suite and tried to figure out
how the entire project was implemented . I found your explanation
extremely useful and hope will be useful in designing regression tool
for our product .As we move ahead in implementation i will post on this
group for any issues .

thanks ,
