@chapter Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
FATE provides a regression testsuite embedded within the Libav build system.
|
||||
It can be run locally and optionally configured to send reports to a web
|
||||
aggregator and viewer @url{http://fate.libav.org}.
|
||||
|
||||
It is advised to run FATE before submitting patches to the current codebase
|
||||
and provide new tests when submitting patches to add additional features.
|
||||
|
||||
@chapter Running FATE
|
||||
|
||||
@section Samples and References
|
||||
In order to run, FATE needs a large amount of data (samples and references)
|
||||
that is provided separately from the actual source distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
To inform the build system about the testsuite location, pass
|
||||
@option{--samples=<path to the samples>} to @command{configure} or set the
|
||||
@var{SAMPLES} Make variable or the @var{FATE_SAMPLES} environment variable
|
||||
to a suitable value.
|
||||
|
||||
The dataset is available through @command{rsync}, is possible to fetch
|
||||
the current sample using the straight rsync command or through a specific
|
||||
@ref{Makefile target}.
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
# rsync -aL rsync://fate-suite.libav.org/fate-suite/ fate-suite
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
# make fate-rsync SAMPLES=fate-suite
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@chapter Manual Run
|
||||
FATE regression test can be run through @command{make}.
|
||||
Specific Makefile targets and Makefile variables are available:
|
||||
|
||||
@anchor{Makefile target}
|
||||
@section FATE Makefile targets
|
||||
@table @option
|
||||
@item fate-list
|
||||
List all fate/regression test targets.
|
||||
@item fate-rsync
|
||||
Shortcut to download the fate test samples to the specified testsuite location.
|
||||
@item fate
|
||||
Run the FATE test suite (requires the fate-suite dataset).
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
|
||||
@section Fate Makefile variables
|
||||
@table @option
|
||||
@item V
|
||||
Verbosity level, can be set to 0, 1 or 2.
|
||||
@table @option
|
||||
@item 0
|
||||
show just the test arguments
|
||||
@item 1
|
||||
show just the command used in the test
|
||||
@item 2
|
||||
show everything
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
@item SAMPLES
|
||||
Specify or override the path to the FATE samples at make time, it has a
|
||||
meaning only while running the regression tests.
|
||||
@item THREADS
|
||||
Specify how many threads to use while running regression tests, it is
|
||||
quite useful to detect thread-related regressions.
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
make V=1 SAMPLES=/var/fate/samples THREADS=2 fate
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@chapter Automated Tests
|
||||
In order to automatically testing specific configurations, e.g. multiple
|
||||
compilers, @command{tests/fate.sh} is provided.
|
||||
|
||||
This shell script builds Libav, runs the regression tests and prepares a
|
||||
report that can be sent to @url{fate.libav.org} or directly examined locally.
|
||||
|
||||
@section Testing Profiles
|
||||
The configuration file passed to @command{fate.sh} is shell scripts as well.
|
||||
|
||||
It must provide at least a @var{slot} identifier, the @var{repo} from
|
||||
which fetch the sources, the @var{samples} directory, a @var{workdir} with
|
||||
enough space to build and run all the tests.
|
||||
Optional submit command @var{fate_recv} and a @var{comment} to describe
|
||||
the testing profile are available.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional optional parameter to tune the Libav building and reporting process
|
||||
can be passed.
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
slot= # some unique identifier
|
||||
repo=git://git.libav.org/libav.git # the source repository
|
||||
samples=/path/to/fate/samples
|
||||
workdir= # directory in which to do all the work
|
||||
fate_recv="ssh -T fate@@fate.libav.org" # command to submit report
|
||||
comment= # optional description
|
||||
|
||||
# the following are optional and map to configure options
|
||||
arch=
|
||||
cpu=
|
||||
cross_prefix=
|
||||
cc=
|
||||
target_os=
|
||||
sysroot=
|
||||
target_exec=
|
||||
target_path=
|
||||
extra_cflags=
|
||||
extra_ldflags=
|
||||
extra_libs=
|
||||
extra_conf= # extra configure options not covered above
|
||||
|
||||
#make= # name of GNU make if not 'make'
|
||||
makeopts= # extra options passed to 'make'
|
||||
#tar= # command to create a tar archive from its arguments on
|
||||
# stdout, defaults to 'tar c'
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@section Submitting Reports
|
||||
In order to send reports you need to create an @command{ssh} key and send it
|
||||
to @email{root@@libav.org}.
|
||||
The current server fingerprint is @var{a4:99:d7:d3:1c:92:0d:56:d6:d5:61:be:01:ae:7d:e6}

FATE Automated Testing Environment
|
||||
|
||||
FATE provides a regression testsuite that can be run locally or configured
|
||||
to send reports to fate.libav.org.
|
||||
In order to run, it needs a large amount of data (samples and references)
|
||||
that is provided separately from the actual source distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the following command to get the fate test samples
|
||||
|
||||
# rsync -aL rsync://fate-suite.libav.org:/fate-suite/ fate-suite
|
||||
|
||||
To inform the build system about the testsuite location, pass
|
||||
`--samples=<path to the samples>` to configure or set the SAMPLES Make
|
||||
variable or the FATE_SAMPLES environment variable to a suitable value.
|
||||
|
||||
For information on how to set up FATE to send results to the official Libav
|
||||
testing framework, please refer to the following wiki page:
|
||||
http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=FATE
|
||||
|
||||
FATE Makefile targets:
|
||||
|
||||
fate-list
|
||||
Will list all fate/regression test targets.
|
||||
|
||||
fate
|
||||
Run the FATE test suite (requires the fate-suite dataset).
|
||||
|
||||
Fate Makefile variables:
|
||||
|
||||
V
|
||||
Verbosity level, can be set to 0, 1 or 2.
|
||||
* 0: show just the test arguments
|
||||
* 1: show just the command used in the test
|
||||
* 2: show everything
|
||||
|
||||
SAMPLES
|
||||
Specify or override the path to the FATE samples at make time, it has a
|
||||
meaning only while running the regression tests.
|
||||
|
||||
THREADS
|
||||
Specify how many threads to use while running regression tests, it is
|
||||
quite useful to detect thread-related regressions.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
make V=1 SAMPLES=/var/fate/samples THREADS=2 fate
