  +Writing a new test case
  +=======================
  +
  +Our test cases are based on junit and you should be familiar with
  +junit in order to write new a test case.
  +
  +Some of the existing test are actually regression tests. They compare
  +the output of a test with the output of a previous run, a.k.a a
  +witness, which is purported to be correct. Since the ouput of some
  +tests vary on time and line numbers, before comparing the output with
  +a witness, we transform the output by unifying the result, for example
  +by removing date and time information.
  +
  +To automatically run your test case with the rest of the log4j test
  +cases, you need to modify tests/build.xml.
