Would you (or Michael > Snyder, perhaps) be willing to mentor someone working on this activity? I am not sure the student can write it or not. Actually, I don't have experience with it. :( My testsuite is written by Michael. So maybe Michael can be the mentor. But I didn't get his mail a long time. I am not sure he can answer us or not. And maybe we can just let the student test reverse debug with hand. Or let a people that have experience on write testsuite to be the mentor. If he doesn't have the experience on reverse debug, I can help him. Thanks, Hui
