-<h1>Testing</h1>
-A test should be done on code committed to svn. Commit, then test. That way
-one can know for sure *what* code was actually tested.
-<h1>Release procedure</h1>
-OpenOCD trunk is work in progress. Expect it to change daily and to have
-some work in progress.
-<p>
-If you need the latest released and tested version, look for binary snapshots of
-OpenOCD. Worst case look up the test result table below for the features
-that are important to you and extract and build the version that has the right
-cocktail of working features for you. You can also work with the community
-to address the problems you are seing. Testing work and bug reports are
-highly appreciated.
-<p>
-The OpenOCD community may decide to create release branches. If
-this happens, then a branch will be created from OpenOCD trunk. The particular
-version to create that branch might be an older version rather than the latest
-and greatest. Fixes are then ported to that release branch from OpenOCD trunk.

+ Commit, then test. That way one can know for sure *what* code was actually tested.
+ <p>
+ Note that this testing document does not have anything to do with testing that is done
+ before committing to git. It is a test document for released code. Pre-commit testing
+ is done mostly by the developer who has written the change. Sometimes code is committed
+ to synchronize work, even if it has known problems. Release testing is
+ done on code believed to be stable, often a couple of weeks old, and not by
+ the developers, but rather users and community testers who has the requisite hardware
+ and test setup. Also the testing will take place over an extended period of time.
+ <p>
+ All of the above makes it imperative that there can be no doubt about *which* code
+ is tested and thus all tests refer to committed code by subversion number.
+ <h1>Release procedure</h1>

+ <h2>Test cases</h2>
+ Additionally OpenOCD has test cases that target specific functionality more precisely.

-<h1>Policy on removing features from OpenOCD</h1>
-If a feature in OpenOCD is known to be broken and nobody has
-submitted a fix and the feature is causing trouble for
-maintainence, it can be removed from OpenOCD trunk. The threshold
-for temporarily removing something from OpenOCD trunk is low to
-ease maintainence and place the burden of maintainence on
-those that care about a feature.
-<p>
-Note that code is never deleted from OpenOCD svn, it remains
-in svn so if somebody sees a feature removed that they would
-like kept, they have but to port and fix that feature
-back up to main trunk. This document can be helpful in this
-regard in that the latest working version and the known broken
-version may be listed.
-<h1>Policy on adding features from OpenOCD</h1>
-To add a feature to OpenOCD, generally it should not break any existing
-features and it should be functional and the code reasonably readable
-and useful to others in the OpenOCD community. The code does not
-have to be completed. Work in progress is fine for OpenOCD trunk.
-<p>
-Also new tests should be defined. Note that the code does not have
-to pass all the tests. In fact it can be helpful to have tests
-to describe facets that really should be working, but aren't
-done yet.
