Test suite¶
Structure¶
The test suite is divided into the following components.
test/integration
Integration tests. These tests run HALMD for a given set of command-line parameters or Lua input script, and verify the obtained results. The test execution is done with CMake scripts, the result verification with Boost Test.
test/lua
Lua unit tests. Unit tests of pure Lua components.
test/performance
Performance tests of individual HALMD components or the HALMD executable.
test/tools
Testing tools, e.g. test fixtures used in multiple tests.
test/unit
C++ unit tests. These minimal tests verify individual HALMD components.
Naming conventions¶
Set BOOST_TEST_MODULE to the basename of the test source file
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE lattice
Use full path (with “test”) to the test in the executable name
add_executable(test_unit_mdsim_positions_lattice lattice.cpp )
Use full path (without “test”) to the test in the CMake test name
add_test(unit/mdsim/positions/lattice test_unit_mdsim_positions_lattice --log_level=test_suite )
