+1 I was thinking about the need for creating a automated testing framework
for pgpool on our call this morning. I think it is really important to have
an automated regression test suite, it will be really helpful for any
further development that we do with pgpool. We can have the test suite run
in an automated fashion overnight against all the supported branches and
the master branch. The goal would be keep the regression suite at zero
failures all the time.

I agree that it is going to more complex then the regular regression test
suite that comes with PG. We would need a framework that uses shell scripts
because it would need starting/stopping the database and other activities.

The first step is come up with generic framework for the test suite then we
can list down the functionality we need to add to the test suite and the
order in which it should be done.
