New features/bugfixes should be written in a test friendly way and come with corresponding tests. - -Run tests ----------- - -Tests are run by `make check`. A failed tests stops test execution. To run all -tests regardless of errors call `make -k check`. - -Add new tests to existing test suite -------------------------------------- - -Test suites are organized in directories. [example_test/](example_test/) is an example -for a test suite with two test executables. Feel free to use it as a template for new tests. - -Test suites --------------------- - -Test suites live inside a subdirectory of `$ROOT/tests/unit_tests`, e.g. `$ROOT/tests/unit_tests/my_feature`. - -Test suites are configured by a `Makefile.am`. Tests are executed by testdrivers. One testsuite can contain more than one testdriver. - -### Hints -* Name suites & testdrivers in a way that the name of the driver says something about which component/feature is tested -* Name the testdriver executable `*_testdriver`. This way it gets picked up by the default `.gitignore` - * If this is not feasible: Add all output to a `.gitignore`* Use descriptive test names: `coffee_brewing__with_no_beans__fails` vs. `test34` -* Testing a configurable feature? Wrap test execution with a conditional (see [auth_pam](plugins/auth-pam/Makefile.am) for an example) -* Add multiple test-drivers when one testdriver looks crowded with tests - -### New Test Suites -1. Organize tests in folders for features. -2. Add the new test directory to `SUBDIRS` in `Makefile.am` -3. Edit `configure.ac` and add the new `Makefile` to `AC_CONFIG_FILES` -4. Run `./configure`, and *enable* the feature you'd like to test -5. Make sure that `make check` runs your tests -6. Check: Would a stranger be able to easily find your tests by you looking at the test output? -7. Run `./configure`, and *disable* the feature you'd like to test -8. Make sure that `make check` does *not run* your tests |
