= Testing Tools =

Testing executables are in `bin`

== Unit testing ==

Individual test classes within the ''test_geos_unit'' suite can be run by calling the ''test_geos_unit'' executable directly.
The test group name is found in the cpp file in the `group` declaration.

{{{
$ bin/test_geos_unit capi::GEOSNode
}}}

Individual tests within a test class can be run by specifying the test number:

{{{
$ bin/test_geos_unit capi::GEOSNode 1
}}}

== XML Tests ==

XML tests can be run using ''test_xmltester'':

{{{
bin/test_xmltester ../geos/tests/xmltester/tests/robust/overlay/TestOverlay-geos-837.xml
}}}

The XML Tester supports the following options:

{{{
Usage: bin/test_xmltester [options] <test> [<test> ...]
Options: 
 -v                  Verbose mode (multiple -v increment verbosity)
--test-valid-output  Test output validity
--test-valid-input   Test input validity
--sql-output         Produce SQL output
--wkb-output         Print Geometries as HEXWKB
}}}

== Additional Testing Tools ==

There are additional tests (typically for performance) which are built, but not run as part of the standard test suite.
These can be run from the command line:

{{{
$ bin/perf_iterated_buffer
}}}
