# GStreamer developers:  please add comments on any tests you think
# are dumb or have too many false positives.
#

#
# Future ideas:
# - spell check comments
# - check each function for at least one assertion (?)
# - check parameters that init/set/get have consistent types
# - check for gst_caps_set() without check for writeability
# - check .so files for stray symbols
#

#
# Random "other" testing ideas
# - load each plugin individually
