NAME

gtester − test running utility

SYNOPSIS

gtester [OPTIONâ¦] test−program

DESCRIPTION

gtester is a utility to run unit tests that have been written using the GLib test framework.

Since GLib 2.62, gtester−report is deprecated. Use TAP for reporting test results instead, and feed it to the test harness provided by your build system.

When called with the −o option, gtester writes an XML report of the test results, which can be converted into HTML using the gtester−report utility.
