Also could someone tell me where the regress and reporter source is available to download, I read on the mozilla website "The Netscape PKCS #11 test suites make use of two testing tools whose source is available with the source for the test suites "

I have the source code, but still need to review it for open
source release.

In summary, the remaining work is
1. release 'regress', 'reporter', and perhaps a third tool called
'replacer'.
2. update the test suites to work with NSS 3.x.

I second Nelson's suggestion of looking into 'pk11util'.
I use pk11util to test the basic functionality of a PKCS #11 module without the need to use all of NSS. It's particularly useful in making sure that you have a PKCS #11 module that can load and initialize. I usually use it interactive, though the scripts can be useful in setting up particular tests.

If you have a basically function PKCS #11 module, but want to regression test it, that is what the PKCS #11 test tools were for. They tested PKCS #11 modules in the context of various NSS operation (most notably SSL). If you are working on something like a hardware accelerator, then getting regress, reporter and replacer working would be useful.

Someday a comprehensive PKCS #11 test suite bases on the PKCS #11 spec and several profiles would be useful, but to date no one has created such an animal.
