This directory contains test related to regression tracking that require a specific setup and a complete test. Each regression test must be contained in a test directory whose name is "its<number>", where <number> is the ITS number, and it must be entirely executed by a script, contained in that directory and with the same name of the directory. It can exploit all the helpers provided for common tests (variables in scripts/defines.sh, data files in data/, ...), but it should simultaneously be as self contained and as general as possible. Warning: occasionally, data files and shell variables may change, so limit their use to real needs. For example, if an issue only appears with a certain database type, the test itself should only run when invoked for that database type; otherwise, if the issue appears whatever backend is used, the test should be parameteric, so that it is run with the backend selected at run-time via the "-b" switch of the "run" script. Regression tests are prepared on a voluntary basis, so don't expect all bugs to have a test any soon. When the issue reporter provides a simple, yet complete means to reproduce the bug she's reporting, this may speed up the process. In case, only put neutral data in bug exploitation reports. |
