I agree.

Have you looked at the HACKING file for pnetlib?
It's oriented towards contributing developers, but does
contain some information on setting things up for tests.
I can add more information on testing, bug reporting, etc.
Or would you find it better if I created a separate
TESTING file?

My plan is to have HACKING file for each major
component to assist incoming developers and testers.
It will take a few weeks to get this in place though.

Of course, this doesn't necessary solve the "tools and
methods" problem.  Testing tools and methods aren't
necessarily my forte.  Tell me what you need, and I'll
add it to the HACKING files.

I would also like to see a formal bug management policy
develop.  We had a pretty nice bug system at a previous
company that I worked for.  I'll post separately on that.

Cheers,

Rhys.
