-Tcl Test Suite
---------------

-RCS: @(#) $Id: README,v 1.2 1998/09/14 18:40:07 stanton Exp $
-
-This directory contains a set of validation tests for the Tcl
-commands.  Each of the files whose name ends in ".test" is
-intended to fully exercise one or a few Tcl commands.  The
-commands tested by a given file are listed in the first line
-of the file.
-
-You can run the tests in two ways:
-    (a) type "make test" in ../unix; this will run all of the tests.
-    (b) start up tcltest in this directory, then "source" the test
-        file (for example, type "source parse.test").  To run all
-	of the tests, type "source all".
-In either case no output will be generated if all goes well, except
-for a listing of the tests..  If there are errors then additional
-messages will appear in the format described below.  Note: don't
-run the tests as superuser, since this will cause several of the tests
-to fail.
-
-The rest of this file provides additional information on the
-features of the testing environment.
-
-This approach to testing was designed and initially implemented
-by Mary Ann May-Pumphrey of Sun Microsystems.  Many thanks to
-her for donating her work back to the public Tcl release.
-
-Definitions file:
------------------
-
-The file "defs" defines a collection of procedures and variables
-used to run the tests.  It is read in automatically by each of the
-.test files if needed, but once it has been read once it will not
-be read again by the .test files.  If you change defs while running
-tests you'll have to "source" it by hand to load its new contents.
-
-Test output:
-------------
-
-Normally, output only appears when there are errors.  However, if
-the variable VERBOSE is set to 1 then tests will be run in "verbose"
-mode and output will be generated for each test regardless of
-whether it succeeded or failed.  Test output consists of the
-following information:
-
-    - the test identifier (which can be used to locate the test code
-	    in the .test file)
-    - a brief description of the test
-    - the contents of the test code
-    - the actual results produced by the tests
-    - a "PASSED" or "FAILED" message
-    - the expected results (if the test failed)
-
-You can set VERBOSE either interactively (after the defs file has been
-read in), or you can change the default value in "defs".
-
-Selecting tests for execution:
-------------------------------
-
-Normally, all the tests in a file are run whenever the file is
-"source"d.  However, you can select a specific set of tests using
-the global variable TESTS.  This variable contains a pattern;  any
-test whose identifier matches TESTS will be run.  For example,
-the following interactive command causes all of the "for" tests in
-groups 2 and 4 to be executed:
-
-    set TESTS {for-[24]*}
-
-TESTS defaults to *, but you can change the default in "defs" if
-you wish.
-
-Saving keystrokes:
-------------------
-
-A convenience procedure named "dotests" is included in file
-"defs".  It takes two arguments--the name of the test file (such
-as "parse.test"), and a pattern selecting the tests you want to
-execute.  It sets TESTS to the second argument, calls "source" on
-the file specified in the first argument, and restores TESTS to
-its pre-call value at the end.
-
-Batch vs. interactive execution:
---------------------------------
-
-The tests can be run in either batch or interactive mode.  Batch
-mode refers to using I/O redirection from a UNIX shell.  For example,
-the following command causes the tests in the file named "parse.test"
-to be executed:
-
-    tclTest < parse.test > parse.test.results
-
-Users who want to execute the tests in this fashion need to first
-ensure that the file "defs" has proper values for the global
-variables that control the testing environment (VERBOSE and TESTS).
