Description:
Hi,

The manual page is:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-test-suite.html
or
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-test-suite.html

In the 2nd paragraph,

"You can also write your own test cases. For information about the MySQL Test Framework, including system requirements, see the manual available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest-2.0/en/."

However, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest-2.0/en/ is a broken link. I clicked it and it shows "Page not found"

Please change it.

Thanks,
Tianyin

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
The correct link is either
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/2.0/en/test-programs.html

or 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/2.0/en/mysql-test-run-pl.html

Verified as described.

Paul: I was about to fix this myself, but I can't seem to find what's wrong. In mysqldoc/common/mysql-urls.ent, I find this:

<!ENTITY base-url-mysqltest "http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/2.0/en/">

Which looks exactly like it should be. In the 5.1/5.5/5.6/5.7 Manual, however, the (broken) link points to: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest-2.0/en/

Paul: Sorry, I should have checked the *Manual* beforehand. Looking at the Manual, I find this is already fixed.

Closing this report. Thanks for reporting, Xu!
