Yeah, I have now grouped the tiOPF tests into the following suites.
Non-Persistent Tests and then one testsuite per registered persistant
layer (like CSV, TAB, Oracle, Firebird, etc).

I've done the same for our commercial apps. Splitting the
Non-Persistent tests from the Persistant (DB tests). This allows me to
run the Non-Persistent suite all at once without having to pull in the
slower running DB tests.

Wow, that long ago.... Time flies when you are having fun.  :-)

Yeah, I have a few more improvements on my list as well... All in due time.

I was actually thinking of doing this as an example of Test Driven
Development. Writing a new testing framework in Object Pascal, not as
a replacement of FPCUnit, but to following the book of Kent Beck.
I've done the money example a million times... :-)
