Testing via selftest.cpp
After building the static library, you can run:
make tests
This will output selftest to build/$PLATFORM/. Using this, you can run the tests below. Note, the following examples assume your testing environment is linux, you'll see this in the build output path. If this is not true, change it to darwin, or win depending on what you're running.
It is probably easiest to add out your host-1 and host-2 address, port, and network information to test/alice.conf and test/bob.conf, this way you can use the selftest shorthand shown below.
Build outputs are as follows:
build
|
|--darwin
| |-libzt.a
| |-selftest
|
|--linux
|-libzt.a
|-selftest
Simple Tests
Simple tests merely test one aspect of the library. For instance, its role as an IPv4 server, or IPv6 client.
To run a single-test IPv4 client/server test:
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest zt1 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 server 10.9.9.40 8787 - host-2:
./build/linux/selftest zt2 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 client 10.9.9.40 8787
To run a multi-message IPv4 client/server test:
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest zt1 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 server 10.9.9.40 8787 n_bytes 100 50 - host-2:
./build/linux/selftest zt2 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 client 10.9.9.40 8787 n_bytes 100 50
Sustained Tests
Sustained tests will test the library's ability to support long-duration connections and data transfers.
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest sustained test/bob.conf - host-2:
./build/linux/selftest sustained test/alice.conf
Slam Tests
Slam tests will test the library's ability to handle many repeated API calls or repeated common sequences of API calls that a typical application may make. For instance, it will try to create as many sockets as possible, or try to create a socket, bind to an address, listen, and accept over and over. This is useful for detecting memory leaks and architectural limitations in the stack drivers.
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest slam test/bob.conf - host-2:
./build/linux/selftest slam test/alice.conf
Comprehensive Tests
A comprehensive test will test each aspect of the library one time.
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest comprehensive test/bob.conf - host-2:
./build/linux/selftest comprehensive test/alice.conf
Random Tests
Makes random API calls with random (or plausible arguments/data) to test for proper error handling
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest random test/bob.conf
Performance Tests
Test's the library's performance characteristics
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest performance test/bob.conf - host-2:
./build/linux/selftest performance test/alice.conf
Correctness Tests
Tests's the library's error handling, address treatment, and blocking/non-blocking behaviour.
- host-1:
./build/linux/selftest correctness test/bob.conf - host-2:
./build/linux/selftest correctness test/alice.conf
