I think rbanffy is referring to vttest[1], but I'm not certain.

EDIT to add: vttest is maintained by the current maintainer of xterm. It's the "torturiest" VT test I know of.

No. Not this one. It's too much work to test everything. A much more concise can be used from:

     curl -q http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/animation/vt100-animation/torturetest.vt
On a real terminal, you'll be able to see even the smooth scrolling function that AFAIK no windowed terminal implements.

Next steps would be supporting Tektronix and ReGIS graphics.

Sixel graphics are a terrible idea.
