  1. Testing with CTest and CDash Julien JomierKitware Inc.

  2. Testing Overview Developers CVS/SVN Web Browser CTest CDash

  3. Testing Terminology Sites Builds dash5.kitware Linux-g++ Linux-gcc4 Linux-gcc3 iris.elmtech Dashboard

  4. Why Test Daily? • Large code base too large for any single developer to understand • Developers distributed around the world • Identify problems as they occur • Insure that object API remains unchanged • Provide feedback to developers as they experiment with new implementations

  5. “If it’s not tested it doesn’t work” • Dasboards and Software Process • Roots in GE Six Sigma initiative • Cross platform testing • Nightly regression testing Memory (Purify/ValGrind) testing • Coverage testing • Style checking • Documentation evaluation

  6. How to write a good test? • Use empirical values (5/2=2.5) • Test most of the use cases (even the boring/most difficult ones) • Make your tests as efficient as possible • Have someone else write the test for your algorithm

  7. Regression Testing • Compare generated image against standard “correct” image • pixel-by-pixel comparison • can use a threshold metric • adjusted for effects like dithering

  8. CTest • Testing client • Distributed with CMake • Submit test results to the dashboard • XML submission • Independent of CMake

  9. CTest with CMake CMakeLists.txt INCLUDE(CTest) ENABLE_TESTING() # Add a simple test ADD_TEST(CDashTest1 CDashTest CDashTest) ADD_EXECUTABLE(CDashTest main.cxx) CTestConfig.txt set(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "MyProject") set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "21:00:00 EDT") set(CTEST_DROP_METHOD "http") set(CTEST_DROP_SITE "localhost") set(CTEST_DROP_LOCATION "/CDash/submit.php?project=MyProject") set(CTEST_DROP_SITE_CDASH TRUE)

  10. Testing Submission Compiler/Tester CDash CTest Backup XML File HTTP PUT Fill Database XML Submission XML Parsing Update.xml Configure.xml Build.xml Test.xml Coverage.xml DynamicAnalysis.xml Send Email Update RSS Feed

  11. CDash • New generation of Dart • Written in Php/Javascript • MySQL • Open Source • Run on top of a web server • XSL implementation • Web 2.0

  12. CDash Features • Ajax requests • Graphs: build, test times • Builds group • User management • Email notifications • Timing defects

  13. Coverage Support • Email Low Coverage • Bullseye support

  14. Build Notes • Share with other developers • Keep it simple

  15. My CDash • Personal Page • Subscribe to project • View sites • Email preferences

  16. Project Roles • Normal user • Site maintainer • Project administrator

  17. Claiming Sites • Site information • Automatic (CTest 2.6) • Information history • Manual editing • Personal view/email

  18. CDash Misc. • Automatic Geolocation from IP addresses • Support for iPhone

  19. Installing CDash • (L/W)AMP : Apache, MySQL, PHP- XAMPP, EasyPHP • Download CDash (www.cdash.org) in your Apache web directory • Edit config.php • Point Web Browser to CDash- Setup the database- Create first project

  20. Style Checking • KWStyle • C++ Style checker • Configuration via XML • HTML Generator (TBI in CDash) • Open Source • Written in C++

  21. Contribute • Website- http://www.cdash.org- http://public.kitware.com/KWStyle • Bug Tracker- http://www.cmake.org/Bug • Mailing List- http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cdash

  22. Happy Testing!
