The testing was all hand testing. I didn't write
anything automated, since this is not an easy task.
We did add more tests for dumpset create and dumpset synch.

yes.
I'd like to add that the large cell testing (using dev cell) should begin
while I'm on vacation. If you uncover any show stopper problems,
just note them and abort the mission until I get back.
Alternatively, it might be a good exercise to try and fix the
problems :-). This would be an excellent way to work towards meeting the
requirement that people other than the creator can maintain and
support the system.
