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 (the makefiles are set up to add test/*.cpp to test_bitcoin automatically). Compiling/running Bitcoin-Qt unit tests --------------------------------------- Bitcoin-Qt unit tests are in the src/qt/test/ directory; they use the Qt unit-testing framework. To compile and run the tests: qmake bitcoin-qt.pro BITCOIN_QT_TEST=1 make ./bitcoin-qt_test To add more tests, add them to the src/qt/test/ directory, the src/qt/test/test_main.cpp file, and bitcoin-qt.pro.
