IntlTest Test Suite Documentation


 Copyright (C) 1997-2000, International Business Machines Corporation and others.  All Rights Reserved.


The IntlTest suite contains all of the tests for the C++ API of International Components for Unicode. These tests may be automatically run by typing "intltest" at the command line. Since the verbose option prints out a lot of information, it is recommended that the output be redirected to a file:
"intltest -v > testOutput".

Building

To compile this test suite using MSVC, follow the instructions in icu/readme.html#HowToInstall for building the "alCPP" (All C++ interfaces) workspace. This builds the libraries as well as the intltest executable.

Executing

To run the test suite from the command line, change directories to "intlwork/source/test/intltest/Debug", then type:
"intltest -v > testOutput".  For the release build, the executable will reside in "intlwork/source/test/intltest/Release".

Usage

Type just "intltest -h" to see the usage:

### Syntax:
### IntlTest [-option1 -option2 ...] [testname1 testname2 ...] 
### where options are: verbose (v), all (a), noerrormsg (n), 
### exhaustive (e) and leaks (l). 
### (Specify either -all (shortcut -a) or a test name). 
### -all will run all of the tests.
### 
### To get a list of the test names type: intltest LIST 
### To run just the utility tests type: intltest utility 
### 
### Test names can be nested using slashes ("testA/subtest1") 
### For example to list the utility tests type: intltest utility/LIST 
### To run just the Locale test type: intltest utility/LocaleTest 
### 
### A parameter can be specified for a test by appending '@' and the value 
### to the testname.
