Hello,
1. aim of testing is BC (Backwards Compatibility).
That's what is lovely in PHP, Pear & friends.
Testing and again ensure BC: "I still can run the same cases the same".
BC is granite,
somehow stable in cool environments,
somewhat fused in hot developing periods.
so must admit some BBC: Break Backwards Compatibility.
BBC is a disaster for (package) trusters.
2. aim likely for testing: provide hints about BBC.
If BC is broken, up to the tests to show how come over.
bye
