Hello,
I just found out this marvellous module and I was reading about this stuff, then I realized that
I would like to install all the tests that have been developed till now for D5, to check that my
system, which has been slightly modified, still passes all those tests.
Is there any place where I can download and install all the currently developed tests ?
I dug Google but found nothing like that.

boombatower commentedWhatever tests are included with the module are the currently developed core tests. (not any D5 work being done)
Other contrib modules should include tests with their modules if they wrote them.
That what you are looking for?

yonailoThank you boombatower,
As I was trying to say in #1, I am working for a company that has a working D5 installation with a lot of contrib modules and some modifications to the core system to adapt it to the needs of our system
(well I would say that the developers didn't know how to change the behaviour of some modules and took the easy path of modifying core instead of trying to learn and work together with the hook system...).
If I could install core tests (I believe we are using D5.3 install base), or if I could find the tests that have been developed for the contrib modules we are currently using, that would be extremely useful.
So as you told me, there are no D5 core tests, and the place to find contrib tests should be in the page of the corresponding modules, so everything is clear now, thank you very much. On the other hand, it is a pity there are no D5 core tests, I don't know a lot about Drupal and its development cycle so I imagine it's not worth having them.
Good job anyway.

boombatower commentedThe contrib tests are in the contrib modules yes, but there are a number of D5 core tests in the simpletest 5.x-1.x release under the folder tests.
I have no idea if they all pass/fail what...so I would test on base D5 install first and compare. If you find any bugs in the tests themselves feel free to patch. (and post them back)
