Testing and Development Tools and Tips

This is a collection of helpful tools and tips for navigating the OpenSSL code base and managing a local git repository.

Testing Environment and Tools

In the test-util branch of Mike Bland's fork are a few helper files that you may wish to copy or pull into your branch.

test/testutil.h

Defines the generic SETUP_TEST_FIXTURE and EXECUTE_TEST macros. Should be pulled into the mainline pending acceptance of pull request #126.

test/new-test.sh

Generates a new automated test stub, following the Pseudo-xUnit Pattern and using the macros from test/testutil.h. The generated stub will compile standalone.

test/test_env.bash

Environment variables, functions, and aliases to help with OpenSSL unit testing. The header comments contain documentation on each of the functions and aliases in the file.
