This is a very simple -test for TAO, it can be argued that it is in fact too simple to do -anything useful, i.e. chances are that this test will always pass. +This test verifies basic functionality of the MIOP support in TAO. +It creates two servers that listen on the same group id for requests. +A client then sends a few requests using MIOP. If both servers +receive the multicast requests as expected, the test is successful. +The most likely failure of the test is if the servers don't receive +the requests and subsequently time out. - The goals of writing this test are: - -- Provide a very simple, very fast 'smoke test' for ORB developers. - If Hello does not pass then something is extremely broken and you - should go back to the drawing board. -- Provide a code base to write more complex tests -- Rule out basic infrastructure problems: if this test does not work - for a user then the infrastructure (network, DNS, host - configuration) are more likely to be at fault than the ORB. -- External users are often asked to send us a 'simple test' for their - use case, we can now point them to this test to explain what do we - mean by "simple". - - Please refrain from "improving", extending or expanding this -test, if you need to change - - To run the test use the run_test.pl script: + To run the test, use the run_test.pl script: $ ./run_test.pl |
