Galen,

First, thank you for this complete answer.

I don't think we are closed to offer a testing suite available for all
data. We are strongly dependent on data.
Examples: library, framework, etc.
For the moment the unit tests don't work at all with an UNIMARC DB.
For new developers and testers, it is important to know how launching
unit tests.
With this script, we will tell them:
"launch build_a_db_for_ut.pl and launch a prove on any .t file and
tests should pass!"

Yes, you are right. In misc/devel?

At least all files in a directory in t/db_dependent:
t/db_dependent/Acquisition/*
t/db_dependent/Circulation/*
t/db_dependent/Items/*
t/db_dependent/Members/*
t/db_dependent/Reports/*
t/db_dependent/Serials/*
