If you look at the mysql_client_test.c program code, this should be
obvious :)
With mysql_test, you can't test things like client timeouts, broken packages,
wrong usage of the client api etc.

These are mainly scripts & programs that can be used as a start for
writing test cases for MySQL in case of a known problem. They are not
intended for normal build testing.

mysql_client_test is the only program in the test directory that is
part of our test framework.
Amit> Am I missing something here?
Hope I was able to answer your question.
