By "tools for automatic testing" I mean programs allowing me to:
- specify sets of input parameters for a C function,
- run the function non-interactively with every specified input set,
- record the corresponding return values (and possibly side-effects)
  for manual examination or as reference values for testing later
  versions of the same function. 

Such packages may be very useful, but it is unlikely that people
involved in a short-term project have time enough to build them.
Still, it would be strange if nobody had ever done anything
similar.
So, if someone has programs with these capabilities (or a subset
thereof), or knows where they are available, please send mail to
