You are wrong.

The Solaris test suites serve multiple purposes; there is a big
patch of standards tests *and* there's a big batch of regression
testing:

	- making sure stuff works as it should
	- test cases for particular nasty regressions/security bugs
   	  which were hit.

Not all bugs get a regression test but some do.

Not sure I understand that question.  The test suites report all failures
which occur and don't terminate on the first failure.
