This pretty much what I'm asking, Rhys.  As a code-banger (shredder,
mutilator, or whatever) I feel a responsibility to try what I can to
make the code break down however I can, but most importantly, it's all
for nothing unless you as the developer gain direct benefit and the
end-user gains a stable and robust application.  I don't want to coem
back and report, "errr...Rhys, your application crashed."  I think it
would be far better if I could report back, "Rhys, process line 5364
produces a stack crash during system condition XXX 34% of the time." 
Moreso, to have simplicity for the developer, for me and for any other
testers we get, I'd like to have a semi-standardized testing methodology
available along with the necessry tools to test and measure dotGnu code
under development.  I'm still searching for tools and methods to use,
have found a few, but would very much like the developer inputs on this.

Thanks in advance.
