When running tests under Valgrind it would be useful to pass a suppression file for the known one-off allocations done by Clutter and by its dependencies. This trims the output of Valgrind and improves the ability to actually spot leaks.

Outline of test categories:
|
|
|
|
The conform/ tests should be non-interactive unit-tests that verify a single
|
|
feature is behaving as documented. See conform/ADDING_NEW_TESTS for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
The micro-bench/ tests should be focused perfomance test, ideally testing a
|
|
single metric. Please never forget that these tests are synthetec and if you
|
|
are using them then you understand what metric is being tested. They probably
|
|
don't reflect any real world application loads and the intention is that you
|
|
use these tests once you have already determined the crux of your problem and
|
|
need focused feedback that your changes are indeed improving matters. There is
|
|
no exit status requirements for these tests, but they should give clear
|
|
feedback as to their performance. If the framerate is the feedback metric, then
|
|
the test should forcibly enable FPS debugging.
|
|
|
|
The interactive/ tests are any tests whose status can not be determined without
|
|
a user looking at some visual output, or providing some manual input etc. This
|
|
covers most of the original Clutter tests. Ideally some of these tests will be
|
|
migrated into the conformance/ directory so they can be used in automated
|
|
nightly tests.
|
|
|
|
The data/ directory contains optional data (like images and ClutterScript
|
|
definitions) that can be referenced by a test.
|
|
|
|
Other notes:
|
|
|
|
• All tests should ideally include a detailed description in the source
|
|
explaining exactly what the test is for, how the test was designed to work,
|
|
and possibly a rationale for the approach taken for testing.
|
|
|
|
• When running tests under Valgrind, you should follow the instructions
|
|
available here:
|
|
|
|
http://live.gnome.org/Valgrind
|
|
|
|
and also use the suppression file available inside the data/ directory.
