-Hi,
+NAME: Static check
+FILE: http://people.debian.org/~danchev/xorriso/sclogs/
+WHO:  george, thomas
 
-Here is a cheat list of performance tests I have in my mind for testing the 
-whole thing, for instance before release. This list does not depreciate the 
-practical use case pattern of a potential user or developer might happen to 
-have. The are put together to second-guess he potential testers, and anyone 
-can perform them at will (even partially) on a best effort fashion. I won't go 
-that deep to assign them artificial weights or priority.
+TEST: Build logs (for various hardware architectures and kernels: linux, kfreebsd, hurd)
+FILE: http://buildd.debian.org
+WHO:  george, thomas
 
-1) Various compilation tests, like:
-export CPPFLAGS=-DLibburn_use_sg_dummY; ./configure
-repeat for the adapters of the all target OSes, there should be other 
-interesting macros, static check logs can easily reveal them:-)
-This can be scripted of course.
+NAME: Dialog mode, large trees
+      this requires some specific knowledge of how the tool works (see comments in the 
+      source), to interpret the results and compare them with the previous runs. 
+      The aim is to catch speed performace regressions, prove correctness of results,
+      etc when working on various input data trees, like very large BD-sized ones.

-2) Inspect the static check logs:
-(revision numbers are well indicated)
-http://people.debian.org/~danchev/xorriso/sclogs/
-
-3) Inspect previous versions build daemon logs (various architectures, three 
-kernels: linux, kfreebsd, hurd) for interesting compiler warnings or errors:
-http://buildd.debian.org
-I'm sure I've seen FreeBSD public build logs before, but my searching fails so 
-far!
-
-4) Testing xorriso in dialog mode:
-perhaps this 'proof of concept' toy could be helpful:
-http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/danchev/medistimator.git;a=summary
-this requires some specific knowledge of how the tool works (there are 
-hopefully very helpful comments in the source), to interpret the results and 
-compare them with the previous runs; my logs could be found at:
-http://people.debian.org/~danchev/medistimator/log/
-the aim is to catch speed performace hits, corectness of results, crashes, etc 
-when working on various input data trees, like very large BD-sized ones.
-
-5) Profiling tests with gprof. We did that once :-)
-
-Each of these tests has already caught a flaw or another, so they are stolen 
-from the past experience we already had. The list of course if open for adding 
-more interesting checks, like real burning ones for instance. I'm sure I 
-forgot at least one, since I had 6 in mind... Alois....
-
-6) jigdo production.
-
-I'll try to simplify a run like that one:
-
-xorriso -as mkisofs -r
- -checksum_algorithm_iso md5,sha1,sha256,sha512
- -V 'Debian testing amd64 1'
- -o /org/cdbuilder.debian.org/dst/deb-cd/out/sidamd64/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso
