Journey: write a test

• Testing, and the four things it can mean
• A ReFrame test is a class
• The pipeline has six stages
• The configuration file is the machine
• A portable test leaves the machine in the config
• Software maps to tests

Write a test: name the kind, then write the class. The machine stays in the config.

1. Name the kind: Testing and the four things it can mean.

2. Write the class: A ReFrame test is a class.

3. Walk the pipeline: The pipeline has six stages.

4. Put the machine in the config: The configuration file is the machine.

5. Leave the machine out of the test: A portable test leaves the machine in the config.

6. Map software to those tests: Software maps to tests.
