Intro

We need a better test suite

What exists

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

$ make check

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

Goals

  • 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.
