Re: Automated Testing

ack on the "it becomes normal". Though it's great to have an automatic test suite ready to spot regressions and obvious flaws, how practical would it be to add tests for Spectre-like vulnerabilities?

I'm also a bit curious as to how such things COULD be exploited, so long as you're not running client-side scripting or other code (NOT hosted on your own system) that might leverage it...
