I am interested in this too. For example the tool I posted a while ago
supported only this. It controlled multiple connections and only
supported sending async & wait.

It is enough to support fairly deterministic scenarios, for example,
testing if the locks block on eachother as documented. However, it
works less well for non-deterministic testing. Yet, a test-suite has to
be deterministic, right?

From a client side, is there any testing method better than async and
wait? I've wondered about a tool that attached to the backend with gdb
and for testing killed the backend when it hit a particular function.
By selecting different functions each time, once you'd covered a lot of
functions and tested recovery, you could have a good idea if the
recovery code works properly.

Has anyone seens a tool like that?

Have a nice day,
