Regression Tests
================
Regression tests are designed to cover various technical features of the OpenFPGA projects, including but not limited to
- Netlist generation
- Netlist verification
- Bitstream generation
Considering the large number of technical features, regression tests are categorized into several groups, which can be found at ``openfpga_flow/regression_test_scripts/``
Run a Test
----------
To run a regression test, users can execute a shell script (assume you are under the root directory of the project), for example,
```
./openfpga_flow/regression_test_scripts/basic_reg_test.sh [OPTIONS]
```
.. note:: ``basic_reg_test`` can be replaced by other tests which are under ``openfpga_flow/regression_test_scripts/``
Test Options
------------
There are a few options available when running the tests.
.. option:: --debug
This option can turn on debug mode when running regression tests. By default it is ``off``.
.. option:: --show_thread_logs
This option can enable verbose output when running regression tests. By default it is ``off``.
.. note:: To avoid massive outputs, suggest to run the tests with default options. In CI, always recommend to turn on the debug and verbose options
.. option:: --remove_run_dir all
This option is to remove all the previous run results for a specific regression test. Suggest to use when there are limited disk space.
.. note:: Be careful before using this option! It may cause permanent loss on test results.
