have system X, with sub-systems A, B, and C, I may be testing A, B, and C, so my traversal would have to gather up the three subsidiary test-op entities and either package them into the parent test-op object, or rip the test results out of them and push them into the parent test-op object. I don't believe the plan-then-execute logic of ASDF makes this easy, but I may be wrong.
Does performing TEST-OP on a sytem really result in testing all the system's dependencies? Or did you mean something else?
We often have large structured systems where testing system X is done by testing subsidiary systems A, B, and C that X depends on.
Consider, for example, if one were to write a test-op for CLSQL. One might then have subsidiary systems for the various DB backends, and one would have the test-op for CLSQL run the test-op on each backend (or some subset of the backends that are turned on).
