.Nd Description of the plain test program interface
|
||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Em plain test interface
|
||
|
is the interface of test programs that return their pass/fail status as an
|
||
|
exit code. While simple, this interface is what legacy test programs use
|
||
|
and what test programs written with many other testing libraries use too.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Kyua supports this interface for two main reasons: first, to simplify the
|
||
|
incorporation of legacy test programs into a Kyua test suite; and, second,
|
||
|
to ensure that the Kyua run-time engine does not become tied to a
|
||
|
particular test interface.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The results of a plain test are one of the following:
|
||
|
.Bl -tag -width passedXX
|
||
|
.It passed
|
||
|
If the test program exits with a success exit code; i.e. 0.
|
||
|
.It failed
|
||
|
If the test program exits with a failure exit code; i.e. not 0.
|
||
|
.It broken
|
||
|
If the test program exits due to any other reason (e.g. it crashes) or
|
||
|
if it fails to be executed.
|
||
|
.El
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Plain test programs are executed with the same isolation features as
|
||
|
ATF test programs; see
