I agree that we can do much better at testing than we traditionally
have done, and I think pretty much everyone in the room for the
developer unconference session on testing at PGCon was also in
agreement with that. I really like the idea of taking purpose-built
testing frameworks - like the one that Heikki created for the WAL
format changes - and polishing them to the point where they can go
into core. That's more work, of course, but very beneficial.
