Test Suite

Intro

We need a better test suite

Currently you can run the following command to run the vlc tests

$ make check

To run these tests just use the driver shell script in that directory:

$ ./test.sh

There are more tests in /modules/misc/tests. -- How to run them? Pdherbemont 10:37, 27 February 2008 (CET)

Core tests: Make sure the regular operation from VLC's core don't crash.
API tests: Make sure the regular operation from VLC's core don't crash.
General stability tests: Run some every day operation and see if it crashes.
Codec/muxer/modules test: Perform tests on modules to see if they actually works, that means see if their output is what there are ought to be
Interface tests: Run some every day gui operation and see if it crashes.
