[1] right now I use my own little hacked up testrunning script (just loads the stuff in ghci, and I have one function that sits in a base "test" directory, underwhich the project module hierarchy is mirrored. So if I have, as I do now, Text/HWN/Parser/HWN.hs, then I also have Test/Text/HWN/Parser/HWN_Test.hs. in the Test directory I have Test_Harness.hs, which has a main function which runs all the tests in the directories below it. Each directory has a similar Test_Harness.hs (though all the names are different) which loads all the tests of the directories below it, and exports a single test group. All of this is manual, though I've been planning a kind of manager thing for it lately. But thats a story for another day.
I found the test-framework package to be quite useful for this.

Using the defaultMain function you can easily define a small program which will run all your tests (quickcheck, hunit or other). The only problem I had with test-framework is that it prints the test results in nice colours. It looks pretty in a console but unreadable in ghci.
Hackage seems to be down at the moment, but you can check out which other packages use test-framework on my hackage plaything:

Yes, I've found this useful as well. I'm surprised it's not possible to turn off the colourisation... but `my-test --help` doesn't seem to offer any option for it. Maybe that's a good thing to add? ;-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
