Out of curiosity, why aren't all tests open source?
One set of proprietary tests is used in their specialist testing service that is a paid for service.

What is that service used for besides SQLite?

It's still SQLite, they just need to make money: https://sqlite.org/prosupport.html
Edit: also this:
> TH3 Testing Support. The TH3 test harness is an aviation-grade test suite for SQLite. SQLite developers can run TH3 on specialized hardware and/or using specialized compile-time options, according to customer specification, either remotely or on customer premises. Pricing for this services is on a case-by-case basis depending on requirements.
That's interesting. Here is more information https://sqlite.org/th3.html
The roots of SQLite are in defence industry projects of US Navy and General Dynamics. Seems like TH3 might be of interest for these sort of users.

One could assume also for Fossil.
It is true that the half-million lines of test code found in the public source tree are not the entirety of the SQLite test suite. There are other parts that are not open-source. But the part that is public is a big chunk of the total.
