Description Andrew Overholt

We have this page to document manual testing:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/EPP_Testing

It needs some Helgrind plugin content :)

Hi,

I've filled in some words about Helgrind and I took the liberty to write about Cachegrind as well (I've played with it a little the time I was creating the Helgrind tests).


Let me know if this is enough.

It's a good start but adding more specific information and/or test projects would improve it a lot.  Imagine someone who isn't intimately familiar with Helgrind or Cachegrind is running through these steps :)

Oh my bad. I saw the entries for memcache e massif and I thought it should be just a short description about what the unit tests are trying to accomplish.

I'll take a look at it again.

Obviously these documents are bitrotting and people don't care about documenting. Let's at least not clutter bugzilla searches for things that would not be fixed. And personal opinion - it's test suite that must be updated instead of relying on manual testing.
