Emmanuele Bassi e60584ea6f Change the paint forcing on the Text cache text
The changes in the master clock and the repaint cycle have been
changed, and broke the way the test for the Text actor cache of
PangoLayouts forces a redraw.

We have to call clutter_actor_paint() on the Stage embedding the
Text actor we want to test; this is kinda fugly because if the
Layout has changed it will end up causing a reallocation cycle
in the middle of the Text actor paint. Since it's a test case,
and since forcing redraws is a bit of a hack as well, we can
close both our eyes on that.

README Bug 1162 - Re-works the tests/ to use the glib-2.16 unit testing 2008-11-07 19:32:28 +00:00

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 whos 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.

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 aproach taken for testing.
