Resp to deleted comment:

sqlite is considered such because it's open source and well tested. That doesn't seem to imply to me that the tests are also open source. I don't think Hipp is lying about his proprietary test suite, so I just can't convince myself to lose sleep over this.

Yes, fair enough. Note that I never accused anybody of not telling the truth. My point was about how useful sqlite can be as the posterchild example of a good test suite when we can't see the secret sauce. Not that it doesn't exist. I deleted the other comment because after reading yours I realised it was needlessly controversial. I think you're right in that SQLite can be considered an example of having a good test suite when looked at from a different perspective, just not from the point of it (the test suite) being open source.
