| ## Testing libdispatch |
| |
| ### Running tests |
| |
| A C-based test suite can be found in the tests subdirectory. |
| It uses the automake testing harness to execute the tests. |
| |
| A default set of tests that are always expected to pass can |
| be executed by doing |
| |
| ``` |
| make check |
| ``` |
| |
| An extended test suite that includes some tests that may fail |
| occasionally can be enabled at configure time: |
| |
| ``` |
| ./configure --enable-extended-test-suite |
| make check |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Additional prerequisites |
| |
| A few test cases require additional packages to be installed. |
| In particular, several IO tests assume /usr/bin/vi is available |
| as an input file and will fail if it is not present. |
