In -addition to providing an automated regression testing facility, these -tests also illustrate how to program many of the ACE features. The -tests can be executed in a single pass via the perl script -run_test.pl. - -By default, all the output from the tests will be stored in separate -files in the ./log/ (or .\log\) directory. However, you can override -this by setting the ACE_TEST_DIR environment variable to another -prefix. - -________________________________________ - -Please follow these directions when adding a new test to -$ACE_ROOT/tests: - -1. Use appropriate ACE_START_TEST and ACE_END_TEST macros in main () - -2. Add new project entry to the tests.mpc file. - -3. Add test to Makefile. * - -4. Add a new MS project file, e.g., <test>.dsp, then add and entry for - it to the tests.dsw file. * - -5. Add test to run_test.lst. - -* Steps 3 and 4 will go away once the mpc architecture is fully integrated, - since the Makefile and project files can be created on-the-fly by mpc. -________________________________________ - - -The tests have been run on a wide range of platforms (e.g., UNIX, -pSOS, VxWorks, LynxOS, Windows NT/2000/95/98/etc.) and they all work -with the following exceptions: - -1. UPIPE_Test and SPIPE_Test on Windows 95: these tests don't run on - Windows 95 since Windows 95 does not support the server side - functionality of accepting connections from clients using named pipes. - -2. Proactor_Test (to be added) on Windows 95: this test does not run on - Windows 95 since Windows 95 does not support I/O completion ports. - -3. Of the tests (believed) relevant to the single threaded port to pSOSim, - Sigset_Ops_Test, Sock_Connector_Test, Priority_Reactor_Test, - Process_Strategy_Test, and Service_Config_Test are still failing. - These are being debugged and will either be corrected or, if there - are unsupported features in these tests, removed from the test suite for - pSOSim. - -4. The set of tests for pSOSim will be expanded to include those that require - multiple threads, with the release of the multi-threaded port to pSOSim. - -Notes: - -1. Each test creates a log file and writes it to the ./log/ - directory. The default log directory can be changed in the test_config.h - file. - -2. Each log file contains a time stamp of when the test began and also - a time stamp indicating when the test ended. If the ending time stamp - is missing, you can assume that the test did not succeed. - -3. None of the tests require any command line parameters. This is in - accordance with the keeping the test-suite a "one-button" test. If - any of the tests require any variable parameters these are - specified in test_config.h. - -4. Time_Service_Test executes the Time Server and Clerk components as - two processes and so the executable "main" need to be present in - the netsvcs/servers directory. Be sure you build - $ACE_ROOT/netsvcs/lib/ and $ACE_ROOT/netsvcs/servers before running - this test. These components rely on config files. Two sample - config files are also present in the test-suite, namely - UNIXserver.conf and UNIXclerk.conf (and for Win32, Win32server.conf - and Win32clerk.conf). - -If you have any questions/suggestions, please send email to -ace-users@cs.wustl.edu. |
