automake - Interfacing with a test protocol like TAP or subunit

by Stefano Lattarini for GNU Project

TAP and SubUnit are simple text-based protocols allowing communication between test scripts and a test harness. They allow a single test script to run several distinct checks. Primary objective of this project is the implementation of a TAP/SubUnit consumer testsuite harness in Automake-generated Makefiles, allowing more granularity in the report and count of checks. A secondary objective is to enhance Autotest-generated test scripts to make them able to produce TAP and/or SubUnit output.
