I believe tests are very important to prevent things that already work from breaking without even notice it, and that after that, code gets written based on the broken parts of the system, making fixes take a lot more effort. However I'm thinking in taking the testing to higher levels. I mean one single program to test all things in reactos (I mean running a program in reactos that tests everything testable and generates a report of the failures). I'm thinking about some kind of meta language (at least for user mode tests) that could let me add tests very easily.

Try searching on unittesting :) for java there's jUNIT, which i know,
and would be very suitable if reactos was written in Java ;) There are
other tools for other languages though, try searching on
extreme-programming sites.
