Compiling/running bitcoind unit tests ------------------------------------ bitcoind unit tests are in the src/test/ directory; they use the Boost::Test unit-testing framework. To compile and run the tests: cd src make -f makefile.unix test_bitcoin # Replace makefile.unix if you're not on unix ./test_bitcoin # Runs the unit tests If all tests succeed the last line of output will be: *** No errors detected To add more tests, add BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE functions to the existing .cpp files in the test/ directory or add new .cpp files that implement new BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE sections (and add them to the list of includes in test_bitcoin.cpp).
