+Dashboard Client
+================
+
+CTest can operate as a client for the `CDash`_ software quality dashboard
+application. As a dashboard client, CTest performs a sequence of steps
+to configure, build, and test software, and then submits the results to
+a `CDash`_ server.
+
+.. _`CDash`: http://cdash.org/
+
+Dashboard Client Steps
+----------------------
+
+CTest defines an ordered list of testing steps of which some or all may
+be run as a dashboard client:
+
+``Start``
+ Start a new dashboard submission to be composed of results recorded
+ by the following steps.
+ See the `CTest Start Step`_ section below.
+
+``Update``
+ Update the source tree from its version control repository.
+ Record the old and new versions and the list of updated source files.
+ See the `CTest Update Step`_ section below.
+
+``Configure``
+ Configure the software by running a command in the build tree.
+ Record the configuration output log.
+ See the `CTest Configure Step`_ section below.
+
+``Build``
+ Build the software by running a command in the build tree.
+ Record the build output log and detect warnings and errors.
+ See the `CTest Build Step`_ section below.
+
+``Test``
+ Test the software by loading a ``CTestTestfile.cmake``
+ from the build tree and executing the defined tests.
+ Record the output and result of each test.
+ See the `CTest Test Step`_ section below.
+
+``Coverage``
+ Compute coverage of the source code by running a coverage
+ analysis tool and recording its output.
+ See the `CTest Coverage Step`_ section below.
+
+``MemCheck``
+ Run the software test suite through a memory check tool.
+ Record the test output, results, and issues reported by the tool.
+ See the `CTest MemCheck Step`_ section below.
+
+``Submit``
+ Submit results recorded from other testing steps to the
+ software quality dashboard server.
+ See the `CTest Submit Step`_ section below.
+
+Dashboard Client Modes
+----------------------
+
+CTest defines three modes of operation as a dashboard client:
+
+``Nightly``
+ This mode is intended to be invoked once per day, typically at night.
+ It enables the ``Start``, ``Update``, ``Configure``, ``Build``, ``Test``,
+ ``Coverage``, and ``Submit`` steps by default. Selected steps run even
+ if the ``Update`` step reports no changes to the source tree.
+
+``Continuous``
+ This mode is intended to be invoked repeatedly throughout the day.
+ It enables the ``Start``, ``Update``, ``Configure``, ``Build``, ``Test``,
+ ``Coverage``, and ``Submit`` steps by default, but exits after the
+ ``Update`` step if it reports no changes to the source tree.
+
+``Experimental``
+ This mode is intended to be invoked by a developer to test local changes.
+ It enables the ``Start``, ``Configure``, ``Build``, ``Test``, ``Coverage``,
+ and ``Submit`` steps by default.
+
+Dashboard Client via CTest Command-Line
+---------------------------------------
+
+CTest can perform testing on an already-generated build tree.
+Run the ``ctest`` command with the current working directory set
+to the build tree and use one of these signatures::
+
+ ctest -D <mode>[<step>]
+ ctest -M <mode> [ -T <step> ]...
+
+The ``<mode>`` must be one of the above `Dashboard Client Modes`_,
+and each ``<step>`` must be one of the above `Dashboard Client Steps`_.
+
+CTest reads the `Dashboard Client Configuration`_ settings from
+a file in the build tree called either ``CTestConfiguration.ini``
+or ``DartConfiguration.tcl`` (the names are historical). The format
+of the file is::
+
+ # Lines starting in '#' are comments.
+ # Other non-blank lines are key-value pairs.
+ <setting>: <value>
+
+where ``<setting>`` is the setting name and ``<value>`` is the
+setting value.
+
+In build trees generated by CMake, this configuration file is
+generated by the :module:`CTest` module if included by the project.
+The module uses variables to obtain a value for each setting
+as documented with the settings below.
+
+.. _`CTest Script`:
+
+Dashboard Client via CTest Script
+---------------------------------
+
+CTest can perform testing driven by a :manual:`cmake-language(7)`
+script that creates and maintains the source and build tree as
+well as performing the testing steps. Run the ``ctest`` command
+with the current working directory set outside of any build tree
+and use one of these signatures::
+
+ ctest -S <script>
+ ctest -SP <script>
+
+The ``<script>`` file must call :ref:`CTest Commands` commands
+to run testing steps explicitly as documented below. The commands
+obtain `Dashboard Client Configuration`_ settings from their
+arguments or from variables set in the script.
+
+Dashboard Client Configuration
+==============================
+
+The `Dashboard Client Steps`_ may be configured by named
+settings as documented in the following sections.
+
+.. _`CTest Start Step`:
+
+CTest Start Step
+----------------
+
+Start a new dashboard submission to be composed of results recorded
+by the following steps.
+
+In a `CTest Script`_, the :command:`ctest_start` command runs this step.
+Arguments to the command may specify some of the step settings.
+The command first runs the command-line specified by the
+``CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND`` variable, if set, to initialize the source
+directory.
+
+Configuration settings include:
+
+``BuildDirectory``
+ The full path to the project build tree.

+
+Additional configuration settings include:
+

+ with CTest via environment variables and files to report
+ granular build warning and error information. Otherwise,
+ CTest must "scrape" the build output log for diagnostics.
