&gt; Testing is a lot less onerous if you've done solid design work in

Key questions:

  Does anyone here have a base of regression tests for even any
portion of their server or game code?

  Does anyone here have a test plan for their server or game base?

  Does anyone here have actually do any structured or automated
testing of their MUD or game code?

I wouldn't be surprised if the answers to all three were a resournding
"No!" on all counts (I'm an exception BTW Yes across the board, but
that's expected).
