Description: Added a command file for testing tools; it has a framework
to do exactly (almost) what UNIX tools test scripts do:
- run test tool and save output
- compare output with expected result
- figure out the difference and
- print PASSED /*FAILED* in a manner similar to the UNIX output
It needs to be populated with more tests and reused for other tools.
Solution:
Platforms tested: VMS server
Misc. update:
Description: Added support for Zlib compression on VMS
Solution: Modified command files to add compilation and linking with
the ZLIB library.
Platforms tested: VMS servere with the VAX floating datatype;
will test IEEE option later
Misc. update:
Description: Some VMS command files were broken, some needed
an update to catch up with the current code distribution.
Solution: Fixed
Platforms tested: VMS server with IEEE option. Will do more testing after
checking out a fresh CVS version.
Misc. update:
Description: Some dumper tests suppose to fail; those tests cause make file
to exit.
Solution: For now I commented those tests to let other tests
to run; output is saved in a file for examination. Next step
will be to compare with the existing output. (Actually
the next step will be to learn how to program functions in DCL to
create a test script similar to UNIX one, but at least I finally
figured out why the test script was exiting.)
Platforms tested: VMS server
