I saw the talk by Greg Kroah-Hartman at http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/ols_2006_keynote.html and wanted to correct a mistake (perhaps itself a myth).
A regression suite, fully automated, has existed for Linux since I was running the PPC tree in the 90's. I still use an extensive and very much upgraded version here at FSMLabs. There will be a C/C++ Journal article on it in the next few months but there is a link describing it and how to re-implement it here:

It tests FreeBSD, NetBSD and Linux for PowerPC, x86, x86-64, FRV, MIPS, ARM, XScale and IXP. It tests user-land, kernel functionality, RTLinux and RTCore along with all of our realtime drivers.
To this day we're expanding it's coverage and capability. It took one long weekend to write the first version of this system. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
