Unit Tests

The unit test are run using the tox command from the tox automation project for more detail. It is assumed tox is available on your system.

To run the tests:

1. The Proton Python binding must be installed [1]
2. From the topmost directory (that contains the tox.ini file) execute the tox command
3. That's it!

The unit tests may be run without tox, but your environment must be set up so that the pyngus module is able to be imported by the test scripts. For example, setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to include the path to the build directory.

[1] You can still run the tests without installing Proton. You can run the tests using a build of the Proton sources instead. In order to do this you MUST source the config.sh file supplied in the Proton sources prior to running the unit tests. This script adds the Proton Python bindings to the search path used by the unit tests.

Performance Test

perf-test.py is a static performance test. It simulates sending many small messages over many links. It can be used to gauge the performance impact of code changes during development.

To run, invoke it using the time command. Example:

$ time ./tests/python/perf-test.py

real        2m15.789s
user        2m15.357s
sys         0m0.039s
