-
-This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used
-internally to the server. This test suite is based on glib's testing
-framework [1].
-
-= How it works =
-Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static
-libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions
-and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect
-clients.
-
-This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state
-of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which
-may be difficult.
-
-= How to run the tests =
-Run "make check" the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute
-them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am.
-
-Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be
-executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests.
-
-== Adding a new test ==
-When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the
-test does and what the expected outcome is. If the test reproduces a
-particular bug, using g_test_bug().
-
-== Misc ==
-
-The programs "gtester" and "gtester-report" may be used to generate XML/HTML
-log files of tests succeeded and failed.
