<a name="Introduction"></a>
<h1 class="chapter"><a href="fate.html#toc-Introduction">1. Introduction</a></h1>
<p>FATE provides a regression testsuite embedded within the Libav build system.
It can be run locally and optionally configured to send reports to a web
aggregator and viewer <a href="http://fate.libav.org">http://fate.libav.org</a>.
</p>
<p>It is advised to run FATE before submitting patches to the current codebase
and provide new tests when submitting patches to add additional features.
</p>

<a name="Samples-and-References"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="fate.html#toc-Samples-and-References">2.1 Samples and References</a></h2>
<p>In order to run, FATE needs a large amount of data (samples and references)
that is provided separately from the actual source distribution.
</p>
<p>To inform the build system about the testsuite location, pass
‘<samp>--samples=<path to the samples></samp>’ to <code>configure</code> or set the
<var>SAMPLES</var> Make variable or the <var>FATE_SAMPLES</var> environment variable
to a suitable value.
</p>
<p>The dataset is available through <code>rsync</code>, is possible to fetch
the current sample using the straight rsync command or through a specific
<a href="#Makefile-target">Makefile target</a>.
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example"># rsync -aL rsync://fate-suite.libav.org/fate-suite/ fate-suite

<h1 class="chapter"><a href="fate.html#toc-Manual-Run">3. Manual Run</a></h1>
<p>FATE regression test can be run through <code>make</code>.
Specific Makefile targets and Makefile variables are available:
</p>
<p><a name="Makefile-target"></a>

<h1 class="chapter"><a href="fate.html#toc-Automated-Tests">4. Automated Tests</a></h1>
<p>In order to automatically testing specific configurations, e.g. multiple
compilers, <code>tests/fate.sh</code> is provided.
</p>
<p>This shell script builds Libav, runs the regression tests and prepares a
report that can be sent to <a href="fate.libav.org">fate.libav.org</a> or directly examined locally.
</p>
<a name="Testing-Profiles"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="fate.html#toc-Testing-Profiles">4.1 Testing Profiles</a></h2>
<p>The configuration file passed to <code>fate.sh</code> is shell scripts as well.
</p>
<p>It must provide at least a <var>slot</var> identifier, the <var>repo</var> from
which fetch the sources, the <var>samples</var> directory, a <var>workdir</var> with
enough space to build and run all the tests.
Optional submit command <var>fate_recv</var> and a <var>comment</var> to describe
the testing profile are available.
</p>
<p>Additional optional parameter to tune the Libav building and reporting process
can be passed.
</p>

<h2 class="section"><a href="fate.html#toc-Submitting-Reports">4.2 Submitting Reports</a></h2>
<p>In order to send reports you need to create an <code>ssh</code> key and send it
to <a href="mailto:root@libav.org">root@libav.org</a>.
