<h1>Test suites</h1>
<p>There is a few test suites available to developers for testing
a given version of libvirt:</p>
<ul><li>the internal test suite: present in the source code, it is run
by developers before submitting patches upstream, it is also
suggested to have it run and pass as part of the packaging
process for distributions. It is run by launching:
<pre>make check</pre>
in a source tree after compilation has finished. It doesn't
really make functional testing but checks that large portions
of the code not interacting directly with virtualization
functions properly.
</li><li>the <a href="testtck.html">TCK test suite</a> is a functional
test suite implemented using the
<a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sys-Virt/">Perl bindings</a>
of libvirt. It is available separately as a
<a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/tck/">download</a>, as a
<a href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libvirt-tck">package</a>
in Fedora distributions, but best is probably to get
the <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-tck.git">version
from GIT</a>.
</li><li>the <a href="testapi.html">libvirt-test-API</a> is also a functional
test suite, but implemented using the
<a href="python.html">Python bindings</a>
of libvirt. It is available separately as a
<a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-test-API/">download</a>,
or directly get
the <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-test-API.git">version
from GIT</a>.
</li></ul>
