SPP - regtest - an STScI legacy system for IRAF packages¶
Overview¶
regtest
tests IRAF tasks. It is derived from a legacy system,
and is still in use at STScI. It is so specialized that it is
unlikely to be useful to you.
Test definitions¶
Each test exists in a separate XML file. The file format is defined in the Pandokia source code in stsci_regtest/TEST_FORMAT.xml
regtest automatically generates the data needed to make okifiable tests.
Test Execution¶
This runner uses PyRAF to execute IRAF tasks. Before executing the tasks under test, it loads these IRAF packages:
fitsio
images
stsdas
tables
In the test definition, it lists one or more output files. Each output file is compared to a reference file. If all match (within the parameters of the comparison), the test passes.
