DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs. Its purpose is to
|
||
|
|
provide a single front end for all tests. Beyond this, DejaGnu offers
|
||
|
|
several advantages for testing:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The flexibility and consistency of the DejaGnu framework
|
||
|
|
make it easy to write tests for any program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- DejaGnu provides a layer of abstraction which makes all
|
||
|
|
tests (if correctly written) portable to any host or target
|
||
|
|
where a program must be tested. For instance, a test for
|
||
|
|
GDB can run (from any Unix based host) on any target
|
||
|
|
architecture supported by DejaGnu. Currently DejaGnu runs
|
||
|
|
tests on several single board computers, whose operating
|
||
|
|
software ranges from just a boot monitor to a full-fledged,
|
||
|
|
Unix-like realtime OS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- DejaGnu is written in expect, which in turn uses Tcl
|
||
|
|
(Tool command language). The framework comprises two parts:
|
||
|
|
the testing framework and the testsuites themselves. Tests
|
||
|
|
are usually written in expect using Tcl.
