src/tests: The FreeBSD test suite
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Usage of the FreeBSD test suite:
|
|
(1) Run the tests:
|
|
kyua test -k /usr/tests/Kyuafile
|
|
(2) See the test results:
|
|
kyua report
|
|
|
|
For further information on using the test suite, read tests(7):
|
|
man tests

Description of FreeBSD test suite
|
|
=================================
|
|
The build of the test suite is organized in the following manner:
|
|
|
|
* The build of all test artifacts is protected by the MK_TESTS knob.
|
|
The user can disable these with the WITHOUT_TESTS setting in
|
|
src.conf(5).
|
|
|
|
* The goal for /usr/tests/ (the installed test programs) is to follow
|
|
the same hierarchy as /usr/src/ wherever possible, which in turn drives
|
|
several of the design decisions described below. This simplifies the
|
|
discoverability of tests. We want a mapping such as:
|
|
|
|
/usr/src/bin/cp/ -> /usr/tests/bin/cp/
|
|
/usr/src/lib/libc/ -> /usr/tests/lib/libc/
|
|
/usr/src/usr.bin/cut/ -> /usr/tests/usr.bin/cut/
|
|
... and many more ...
|
|
|
|
* Test programs for specific utilities and libraries are located next
|
|
to the source code of such programs. For example, the tests for the
|
|
src/lib/libcrypt/ library live in src/lib/libcrypt/tests/. The tests/
|
|
subdirectory is optional and should, in general, be avoided.
|
|
|
|
* The src/tests/ hierarchy (this directory) provides generic test
|
|
infrastructure and glue code to join all test programs together into
|
|
a single test suite definition.
|
|
|
|
* The src/tests/ hierarchy also includes cross-functional test programs:
|
|
i.e. test programs that cover more than a single utility or library
|
|
and thus don't fit anywhere else in the tree. Consider this to follow
|
|
the same rationale as src/share/man/: this directory contains generic
|
|
manual pages while the manual pages that are specific to individual
|
|
tools or libraries live next to the source code.
|
|
|
|
In order to keep the src/tests/ hierarchy decoupled from the actual test
|
|
programs being installed --which is a worthy goal because it simplifies
|
|
the addition of new test programs and simplifies the maintenance of the
|
|
tree-- the top-level Kyuafile does not know which subdirectories may
|
|
exist upfront. Instead, such Kyuafile automatically detects, at
|
|
run-time, which */Kyuafile files exist and uses those directly.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, every directory in src/ that wants to install a Kyuafile to
|
|
just recurse into other subdirectories reuses this Kyuafile with
|
|
auto-discovery features. As an example, take a look at src/lib/tests/
|
|
whose sole purpose is to install a Kyuafile into /usr/tests/lib/.
|
|
The goal in this specific case is for /usr/tests/lib/ to be generated
|
|
entirely from src/lib/.
