+<li><b>Self-testing using clang</b>: There are several neat ways to
+improve the quality of clang by self-testing. Some examples:
+<ul>
+ <li>Improve the reliability of AST printing and serialization by
+ ensuring that the AST produced by clang on an input doesn't change
+ when it is reparsed or unserialized.
+
+ <li>Improve parser reliability and error generation by automatically
+ or randomly changing the input checking that clang doesn't crash and
+ that it doesn't generate excessive errors for small input
+ changes. Manipulating the input at both the text and token levels is
+ likely to produce interesting test cases.
