Re: TestFest, which tests to focus on?

It would be good to have the complete procedure for finding coverage documented. Following steps will help you check the coverage of source by executing only your testcases a) Build the php with gcov option if not yet done ( ./configure --enable-gcov; make) b) Copy your tests to a dir ( e.g. /home/kraghuba/mytest ) c) Run run-test.php and pass the dir where you tests are present (e.g. php /workdir/php53/run-tests.php /home/kraghuba/mytest) d) Later use the lcov and genhtml to generate the coverage report for the specific source file e.g. if you are looking for string function coverage, following are steps: 1) locate the .gcda file, i.e. string.gcda ( ext/standard/string.gcda ) 2) use lcov to generate info file lcov --directory <php_dir>/ext/standard/string.gcda -c -o string.info 3) use genhtml to generate html files genhtml string.info -o /tmp/string 4) firefox /tmp/string/index.html & <= should show you the coverage with Regards, Raghubansh On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 9:31 PM, zoe <zoe.slattery@googlemail.com> wrote: > Lukas Kahwe Smith wrote: > > > > > > So, is there a way that I can check to see if my test really does > > > cover that code before submitting it for review?
