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 util/perl/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 util/perl/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/build.info ========================== 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): * add {name} to the list of programs under PROGRAMS_NO_INST * create a three line description of how to build the test, you will have to modify the include paths and source files if you don't want to use the basic test framework: SOURCE[{name}]={name}.c INCLUDE[{name}]=.. ../include DEPEND[{name}]=../libcrypto libtestutil.a Generic form of C test executables ================================== #include "testutil.h" static int my_test(void) { int testresult = 0; /* Assume the test will fail */ int observed; observed = function(); /* Call the code under test */ if (!TEST_int_equal(observed, 2)) /* Check the result is correct */ goto end; /* Exit on failure - optional */ testresult = 1; /* Mark the test case a success */ end: cleanup(); /* Any cleanup you require */ return testresult; } int setup_tests(void) { ADD_TEST(my_test); /* Add each test separately */ return 1; /* Indicate success */ } You should use the TEST_xxx macros provided by testutil.h to test all failure conditions. These macros produce an error message in a standard format if the condition is not met (and nothing if the condition is met). Additional information can be presented with the TEST_info macro that takes a printf format string and arguments. TEST_error is useful for complicated conditions, it also takes a printf format string and argument. In all cases the TEST_xxx macros are guaranteed to evaluate their arguments exactly once. This means that expressions with side effects are allowed as parameters. Thus, if (!TEST_ptr(ptr = OPENSSL_malloc(..))) works fine and can be used in place of: ptr = OPENSSL_malloc(..); if (!TEST_ptr(ptr)) The former produces a more meaningful message on failure than the latter.
