There is a project working on creating a The test suite for ConTeXt.The homepage is [[https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contexttest a set of files that exercise many ConTeXt Test project]]features and are used by Hans for testing releases.
The mailing list can be accessed through the [[https://foundry.supelec.fr/mail/== Where is it?group_id=21 Lists]] section, and in the [[https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/?group_id=21 SCM]]section you can find the actual test files.
=== Who canThey are on the PRAGMA site [http:/should submit new tests? ===/www.pragma-ade.nl/context/latest/cont-tst.7z here as a 7zip archive].
* Anyone.* But since Hans and Taco are busy enough, users, even beginners, are the ones expected to submit new tests.== How can they be useful? ==
=== Who REALLY should submit new tests? ===On the mailing list, Hans sometimes points one to minimal examples of a feature being asked about. You can recursively grep through the (uncompressed) archive to find the example. For example, I had asked about coupled problems and solutions, for which the relevant mechanism is blocks Hans: "(there are some examples in the test suite under blocks)." After unpacking the archive (into <code>/tmp/doc/</code>), the following command located the examples:
* If a bug that you encountered gets fixed (on the mainling list).<pre>$ grep -r -n --include='* If a new feature is implemented on your request.tex' '\<block\>' /tmp/doc/ === How to view the existing /tmp/doc/context/tests? ===/mkiv/blocks/blocks-001.tex:89:\chapter{Normal block use} In the [[https:/tmp/foundry.supelec.frdoc/scmcontext/?group_id=21 SCM]] you can learn how to connect to the repository through subversion, or you can browse the current repository of tests online/mkiv/blocks/blocks-001.tex:91: % test normal block use == How can I join in? == === Join the mailing List === In the [[https:/tmp/doc/context/tests/foundry.supelec.frmkiv/mailblocks/?group_id=21 Lists]] section of the server, you will find the contexttestblocks-commits mailing list001.

Deleted obsolete material about now-defunct contexttest project. Point to 7zip file on PRAGMA site. Show how to find a usage example within the archive.
