Subject: Test-suites for weak programs?

Hi.

I did some house-cleaning at home and beneath my bed I found my three year old
chess program. It is very weak (talking about 3ply+3qply in about 1sec on a
Athleon 1.2GHz). However I wish to improve it by adding/removing candy. But to
find out the right path I need a road-map, i.e. measure my changes.

Are there any (good) test suites for such weak programs? What is the
state-of-the-art format of test-suites? My program supports FEN, but I have
failed to find any complete description of the EPD-standard (only broken links).

Many thanks to Andrei Fortuna for setting up a search engine for this forum. No
need to repeat questions each month! (Though I haven't been able to find an
answer to this one.)

Best Regards
