History

The Testing Guide v4 was released in 2014. The Testing guide originated in 2003 with Dan Cuthbert as one of the original editors. It was handed over to Eoin Keary in 2005 and transformed into a wiki. From 2013 Andrew Muller co-lead the project with Matteo Meucci into 2018/2019. Point releases after v4 and the ramp toward v5 is being lead by Rick Mitchell and Elie Saad.
