regression_suiteΒΆ

A regression_suite file is used to define a regression suite, which involves a set of tests that should be run. This file contains information describing a set of tests that should be setup and run as part of a regression test suite.

Below, you will see text describing the various XML tags available in a regression_suite file. Each will describe the tag itself, any attributes the tag can have, and what children can be placed below the tag.

<regression_suite> - This is the overarching parent tag in a regression_suite file. It defines the suite that will be setup

  • Attributes:

    • name: This attribute defines the name of the regression suite. A script will be generated named <name>.py that will run the entire regression suite in the location the regression suite is setup (i.e. work_dir)

  • Children:

    • <test>

<test> - This tag defines a test that will be included as part of the regression suite.

  • Attributes:

    • name: This attribute defines the name of the test as part of this regression suite. NOTE: This name is only used in this regression suite, so multiple suites can name the same test in different ways.

    • core: This attribute defines the core that would be passed to setup_testcases.py to setup this test.

    • configuration: This attribute defines the configuration that would be passed to setup_testcases.py to setup this test.

    • resolution: This attribute defines the resolution that would be passed to setup_testcases.py to setup this test.

  • Children:

    • <script>

<script> - This tag defines a script that will be run to perform the specified test.

  • Attributes:

    • name: This attribute defines the name of the script that will be run to perform the specified test. Typically this is a driver script.
