X server test suite
|
|
|
|
This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used
|
|
internally to the server.
|
|
|
|
= How it works =
|
|
Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static
|
|
libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions
|
|
and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect
|
|
clients.
|
|
|
|
This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state
|
|
of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which
|
|
may be difficult.
|
|
|
|
= How to run the tests =
|
|
Run "make check" in the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute
|
|
them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am.
|
|
|
|
Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be
|
|
executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests.
|
|
|
|
== Adding a new test ==
|
|
When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the
|
|
test does and what the expected outcome is.
