Shrinking #62

Open sir4ur0n opened 3 years ago

sir4ur0n commented 3 years ago

Hello!

AFAIU there is currently no shrinking feature in Crowbar (I could only find a few words about it in the Wiki design notes).

What's the status on the idea of shrinking in case of test failure?

Thank you for your time!

The plan for getting shrinking into Crowbar is a three-step process:

  1. Wait for @DRMacIver to write a paper about how to do it properly
  2. Read the paper
  3. Do what it says

Step 1 was completed in November. Steps 2 and 3 haven't happened yet.
