As far as I know there is no intention to replace the DejaGNU testsuite in the short- to medium-term - only long-term if QMtest proves viable. So for the moment I recommend continuing with DejaGNU, since that framework exists now, and since converting over seems to be a relatively simple process. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
