QMTest was a test harness written in Python and avoiding various issues with DejaGnu's design, though by now it looks rather dated and I expect in the modern Python world lots of things would be done differently. (Some peculiarities of its design made it hard to fit in compiler tests that test lots of things in the same compiler run, although there was an emulation of running the GCC tests as they were at that time, and GDB tests would have been particularly problematic.) I think both DejaGnu and QMTest have useful lessons in how to design test harness software. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
