Since this is the Lazarus mailing list (not FPC), I'll make the huge
assumption that Alexander was referring to the Lazarus test suite, and not
the FPC test suite. If we take that assumption as correct, then the Lazarus
project is in a worse state than I first expected.

 - No nighlty or hourly tests are run.
 - When I ran them the other day, 170 out of 250 tests failed
 - 250 tests for a project as large as Lazarus IDE + LCL is minute.
   In comparison, tiOPF (which is a much smaller project) has
   around 1700+ tests and still growing.


As for regression bugs in Lazarus... oh, don't get me started on that
issue. The Lazarus project has the worst track record I have ever seen.
