How to add recipes
==================
For any test that you want to perform, you write a script located in
test/recipes/, named {nn}-test_{name}.t, where {nn} is a two digit number and
{name} is a unique name of your choice.
Please note that if a test involves a new testing executable, you will need to
do some additions in test/Makefile. More on this later.
Naming conventions
=================
A test executable is named test/{name}test.c
A test recipe is named test/recipes/{nn}-test_{name}.t, where {nn} is a two
digit number and {name} is a unique name of your choice.
The number {nn} is (somewhat loosely) grouped as follows:
00-04 sanity, internal and essential API tests
05-09 individual symmetric cipher algorithms
10-14 math (bignum)
15-19 individual asymmetric cipher algorithms
20-24 openssl commands (some otherwise not tested)
25-29 certificate forms, generation and verification
30-35 engine and evp
60-79 APIs
70 PACKET layer
80-89 "larger" protocols (CA, CMS, OCSP, SSL, TSA)
90-98 misc
99 most time consuming tests [such as test_fuzz]
A recipe that just runs a test executable
=========================================
A script that just runs a program looks like this:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use OpenSSL::Test::Simple;
simple_test("test_{name}", "{name}test", "{name}");
{name} is the unique name you have chosen for your test.
The second argument to `simple_test' is the test executable, and `simple_test'
expects it to be located in test/
For documentation on OpenSSL::Test::Simple, do
`perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm'.
A recipe that runs a more complex test
======================================
For more complex tests, you will need to read up on Test::More and
OpenSSL::Test. Test::More is normally preinstalled, do `man Test::More' for
documentation. For OpenSSL::Test, do `perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm'.
A script to start from could be this:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use OpenSSL::Test;
setup("test_{name}");
plan tests => 2; # The number of tests being performed
ok(test1, "test1");
ok(test2, "test1");
sub test1
{
# test feature 1
}
sub test2
{
# test feature 2
}
Changes to test/Makefile
========================
Whenever a new test involves a new test executable you need to do the
following (at all times, replace {NAME} and {name} with the name of your
test):
* among the variables for test executables at the beginning, add a line like
this:
{NAME}TEST= {name}test
* add `$({NAME}TEST)$(EXE_EXT)' to the assignment of EXE:
* add `$({NAME}TEST).o' to the assignment of OBJ:
* add `$({NAME}TEST).c' to the assignment of SRC:
* add the following lines for building the executable:
$({NAME}TEST)$(EXE_EXT): $({NAME}TEST).o $(DLIBCRYPTO)
@target=$({NAME}TEST); $(BUILD_CMD)
