About this technology
Overview
The dtest tool is a utility program (written in Python), that scans through a directory (and its subdirectories) and finds all directories that match a certain pattern (directory name starts with test_ or test-) and then executes any tests in that directory as described simple configuration files. The tests are completely arbitrary and are not tied to any specific programming language. A variety of tests are available to support comparing test output files with pre-validated versions. Dtest can be used in an automated testing environment or by individual software developer to manually create or maintain individual tests. Dtest accumulates tests results in data files that can be used for reporting tests results by email or on a website.
