Release Engineering Che[at|ck] List
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* SOFTWARE TO TEST
Use latest libraries code base from svn and bzr
(see README for aditional and autodetected library dependencies)
Alternatively, use latest all-in-one development tarball from:
http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/
* SETUP THE TEST ENVIRONMENT
+ Not all TESTs are scripts (e.g. cppcheck, valgrind)
+ Copy all FILE.conf.template to $HOME/.libburnia-releng/FILE.conf
+ Read the configuration files and set up accordingly to your needs
* DELIVERING A NEW TEST SCRIPT
+ start a new test script over the top of template_new_releng
+ all filenames start with releng_ prefix
+ any generated data to be stored in ./tmp/scriptname directory
+ test data generation options -rc [-keep]
+ test data removal options -cleanup
+ well documented configuration file $script.conf.template
+ throw FAIL string to stdout if any failure is detected
+ exit code 0 on success, non-zero on failure
+ use different exit codes for any failure (range 1-31)
* RUNNING TESTS
+ All tests have to be run from the releng/ directory, within
libisoburn source tree.
