| = Running Qpid C++ tests = |
| |
| General philosophy is that "make test" run all tests by default, but |
| developers can run tests selectively as explained below. |
| |
| == Unit Tests == |
| |
| Unit tests use the boost test framework, and are compiled to the programd |
| unit_test |
| |
| There are several options to control how test results are displayed. See |
| http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/test/doc/components/utf/parameters/index.html. |
| |
| == System Tests == |
| |
| System tests are executables or scripts. You can run executable tests |
| directly as well as via "make test" or "ctest". Some tests require |
| environment settings which are set by src/tests/env.sh on Unix or by |
| src/tests/env.ps1 on Windows. |
| |
| == Running selected tests == |
| |
| The make target "make test" simply runs the command "ctest". Running ctest |
| directly gives you additional options, e.g. |
| |
| ctest -R <regexp> -VV |
| |
| This runs tests with names matching the regular expression <regexp> and will |
| print the full output of the tests rather than just listing which tests pass or |
| fail. |
