Walter Dorwald is actively working on converting tests to unittest form. At the same time, he is running a coverage analysis tool and adding tests to increase coverage.

BTW, the results of the coverage tests are available at: http://coverage.livinglogic.de/ Currently updates are done once a month.

Also, he is factoring out some tests that are common to multiple modules.

This not only reduces the number of tests that have to be written, but it helps to keep similar APIs consistent.
