+// 1: Thoughts on naming test cases, and structuring them.
+The testsuite directory has been divided into 11 directories, directly
+correlated to the relevant chapters in the standard. For example, the
+directory testsuite/21_strings contains tests related to chapter 21,
+Strings library in the C++ standard.
 
-// 1: How to write a testcase
+So, the first step in making a new test case is to choose the correct
+directory. The second item is seeing if a test file exists that tests
+the item in question. Generally, within chapters test files are named
+after the section headings in ISO 14882, the C++ standard. For instance, 
+
+21.3.7.9 Inserters and Extractors
+
+Has a related test case:
+21_strings/inserters_extractors.cc
+
+Not so hard. Some time, the works "ctor" and "dtor" are used instead
+of "construct", "constructor", "cons", "destructor", etc. Other than
+that, the naming seems mostly consistent.
+
+Inside a test file, the plan is to test the relevant parts of the
+standard, and then add specific regressions as additional test
+functions, ie test04() can represent a specific regression noted in
+GNATS. Once test files get unwieldy or too big, then they should be
+broken up into multiple sub-categories, hopefully intelligently named
+after the relevant (and more specific) part of the standard.

 Configuring the dejagnu harness to work with libstdc++-v3 in a cross
 compilation environment has been maddening. However, it does work now,
 and on a variety of platforms. Including solaris, linux, and cygwin.
