Introduction
------------
That is only a brief overview of tests in ISC DHCP. For more thorough
description, see ISC DHCP Developer's Guide. You can generate it, by
having Doxygen installed and doing:
cd doc
make devel
and then opening doc/html/index.html
Tests Overview
--------------
In DHCP, a unit test exercises a particular piece of code in
isolation. There is a separate unit test per module or API. Each unit
test lives in a directory beneath the code it is designed to exercise.
So, we (will eventually) have:
server/tests/
client/tests/
common/tests/
dhcpctl/tests/
And so on.
We are using ATF (Automated Test Framework) as a framework to run our
unittests. See ISC DHCP Developer's Guide for much more thorough
description of unit-test and ATF framework in general.
Running Unit Tests
------------------
In order to run the unit tests for DHCP, enable ATF support during configure:
$ ./configure --with-atf
And then use:
$ make check
This will run all of the unit tests. Make sure that ATF is actually
installed and that you have atf-run and atf-report tool in your PATH.
You can run a single test by going to the appropriate test directory
and invoking the test directly:
$ cd server/tests
$ atf-run | atf-report
There are also a number of options that you can use when running a
test. See atf-run and atf-report documentation.
