@tedu and I are both OpenBSD users. I introduced myself to him on that basis and he gave me an invitation to lobste.rs. I’m glad to see this interview, as it really helps me understand one of our regular commenters here better. ::waves::
I’ve always been curious on OpenBSD’s approach to testing. I don’t see much evidence of unit or system testing, nor do I experience many regressions. Can anyone fill in details?
There is a regress directory, though it’s fairly spotty. A lot of things are still tested in the wild. I don’t think there’s a good explanation for this, other than all the usual “why we don’t test” arguments.
