    No, not really.  Canned tests don't really help with development.
    What needs to be tested changes every day depending on what is being
    worked on.  Testing frameworks are good for more formalized regression
    testing but during development one might need to do something as delicate
    as hitting the hard reset button in the middle of a two-phase flush,
    all the way to throwing the book at the filesystem with huge parallel
    bulkbuilds to life-test the SMP paths, filling it up to test disk-full
    handling, or running it on a hard-errored physical drive to test I/O
    error handling.  Things like that.
