Sorry to come to this thread so late, but I'd just like to say that dejagnu is like democracy -- it's the worst system imaginable, except for all the others. I say so as someone who used to have to maintain a test suite for a debugger without benefit of expect or dejagnu. You have no idea what a world of difference it makes, just to be able to test with regular expressions! I don't mean to invalidate any of the complaints about either the testsuite or its documentation. Especially the documentation.
