So you think your test suite is comprehensive?

Compare and contrast your practices with those of the SQLite development team, who go so far as to run every test with versions of malloc(2) and I/O syscalls which fail, as well as special VFS layers which reorder and drop writes.

I think this sentence sums it all up:

By comparison, the project has 1084 times as much test code and test scripts – 91452.5 KSLOC.

One thousand times as much test code as production code. As Q3A says, “Impressive”.
