I'm interested in a nice regression suite.
I've been doing some OpenLDAP stuff recently and they have (what  
seems like) 2 hours worth of tests that occur once you build the  
software.
For a long time, I've been meaning to look at how they do it and see  
if a similar approach could be used with Cyrus IMAPd, but other  
projects always take a priority.

The nice thing about regression testing is that we can start small.  
If there was some agreed upon methodology then when anyone (e.g. Ken,  
someone submitting a patch, someone reporting a bug, etc) can create  
a tests to show how a bug gets triggered or that new code/patch  
doesn't introduce bugs.
