Engineering:Project:DTMRI Testing

Intro

Create nightly regression tests for the DTMRI module.

Summary Slide

People

• Lauren O'Donnell (MIT)
• Raul San-Jose Estepar (BWH)
• Kathryn Hayes (BWH) (setting up slicer test framework)
• Steve Pieper (BWH) (setting up slicer test framework)
• Andy Cedilnik (Kitware) (help with CTest, CMake, and how to do tests well)

Plan

• Write (as many as possible) tcl and C++ test files for code in the DTMRI and TensorUtil modules.
• Produce test data for input.
• Produce correct outputs.
• Have CTest run these tests nightly.

Goals for this week

• All new C++ and tcl tests compile and run nightly
• Decide what are rules for adding tests (i.e. all new classes)
• Decide how to write tests
  • Test data location
  • Return codes
  • Testing style
• Document the above to enforce it in the future and help us finish after this week

What we want to test

• Tensor creation
• Scalar measure creation
• Clustering
• File I/O
• User interface that causes the above to occur (may not be possible to test now)
• Future goals:
  • Each (old) class (and/or module function?) should have at least one test
  • New functionality should be accompanied by a new test
