>Description:
The Ada language lacks a test suite.  Some level of
testing occurs during bootstrap since the front end
and libraries are written in Ada, but this is inadequate.

There has been some discussion of wrapping portions of
the ACATS validation suite into the DejaGNU framework.
Framework for a regression suite along the lines of
c-torture should also be established.
