NAME¶
atheist - a general prupose test framework.SYNOPSIS¶
atheist [options]
{{directory | file}}
DESCRIPTION¶
atheist allows you to specify the behaviour of your tests in a declarative way using many data structures (such us Tasks, Conditions, Daemons, etc.) and provides detailed statistic results. The main idea is that the programmer may describes the test behaviour in a .test file and atheist runs every tests found. It is possible to check and prepare the system by writting setup and teardown files that are executed after and before each test. Each test is represented by Task object which have many configuration attributes such us execution delay, termination signal expected and many others. Tasks have pre and post conditions that are been checked at execution time. You may save the test output and compose Conditions objects to assure concrete states of the system during the tests execution. atheist free all resources used by the user automatically at the end of the execution. See the Atheist manual for more information about data structures and tools provided by the framework. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU info(1) format; see below.OPTIONS¶
