When I help identify and fix bugs, I like to be able to provide a
"push-button" test case that demonstrates the problem, and
prevents regression once the problem has been fixed.

When I run "make check" for GNU emacs, it tells me there are no
tests for emacs yet.

Have there been any initiatives to develop a testing system for
emacs?
