Actually, there is a *ton* of obsolete information on that page:
there's no serial_schedule file anymore, and we don't have
dynamically-generated test files anymore (input/output subdirectories)
and therefore there's no substituted variables. The age of the whole
thing can be dated by its references to CVS :-(
Maybe we should indeed try to replace it with something in the main
docs, which are a bit more likely to get maintained. There is an
existing chapter "Regression Tests", but it presently only talks
about how to run the tests not how to write new ones.
regards, tom lane
