1 X server test suite 2 3This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used 4internally to the server. 5 6= How it works = 7Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static 8libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions 9and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect 10clients. 11 12This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state 13of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which 14may be difficult. 15 16= How to run the tests = 17Run "make check" in the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute 18them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am. 19 20Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be 21executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests. 22 23== Adding a new test == 24When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the 25test does and what the expected outcome is. 26
