1==UPDATE==

3The text immediately following is an update to the testing documentation. The
4update is written on 2008.08.30 and is copied from an email to the opensim-dev
5mailing list[1]. The information below the update, beginning with the section
6titled TESTING, is still relevant, so please read this document in its
7entirety.

14The tests are contained in certain DLLs. At the time of writing, these DLLs
15have tests in them:
16
17OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Common.Tests.dll
18OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Shared.CodeTools.Tests.dll
19OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Shared.Tests.dll
20OpenSim.Framework.Tests.dll OpenSim.Region.Environment.dll
21OpenSim.Region.Physics.OdePlugin.dll[2]
22
23The console command used to run the tests is `nunit-console` (or
24`nunit-console2` on some systems). This command takes a listing of DLLs to
25inspect for tests.
26
27Currently Bamboo's[3] build file (.nant/bamboo.build) lists only those DLLs
28for nunit-console to use. However it would be equally correct to simply pass
29in all DLLs in bin/; those without tests are just skipped.
30
31The nunit-console command generates a file TestResults.txt by default. This is
32an XML file containing a listing of all DLLs inspected, tests executed,
33successes, failures, etc. If nunit-console is passed in all DLLs in bin/, this
34file bloats with lots of entries like this:
35
36 <test-suite name="/home/mike/source/workspace/bin/OpenSim.Grid.Communications.OGS1.dll" success="True" time="0.000" asserts="0">
37 <results />
38 </test-suite>
39 <test-suite name="/home/mike/source/workspace/bin/OpenSim.Region.ClientStack.dll" success="True" time="0.000" asserts="0">
40 <results />
41 </test-suite>
42
43Therefore it makes more sense to me to specify the DLLs when running
44nunit-console.
45
46[2] Note that OpenSim.Region.Physics.OdePlugin.dll is in bin/Physics/ and
47needs to be first copied to bin/ before nunit-console is executed.

2To use nunit testing on opensim code, you have a variety of methods. The easiast methods involve using IDE capabilities to test code. Using VS2005/2008 I recommend using the testing capabilities of Resarper(commercial) or TestDriven.Net(free). Both will recognize nunit tests within your application and allow you to test them individually, or all at once, etc. You will also be able to step into debug mode into a test through these add-ins enabling a developer to jump right in and see how a specific test-case/scenerio works. 52To use nunit testing on opensim code, you have a variety of methods.

4Additionally, it is my understanding that sharpdevelop and monodevelop have their own nunit testing plugins within their IDE. Though I am not certain of their exact feature set or stability. 61Additionally, it is my understanding that sharpdevelop and monodevelop have

NUnit-gui is a console that will let you view the execution of various tests within your assemblies and give visual indication of teir success or failure.
