NAME
atheist - a general prupose test framework.
SYNOPSIS
atheist [options] {{directory | file}}
atheist [{-h | --help}]
DESCRIPTION
atheist allows you to specify the behaviour of your tests in a
declarative way using many data structures (such us Test, Conditions,
Daemons, etc.) and provides detailed statistic results. The main idea
is that the programmer may describes the test behaviour in a .test file
and atheist runs every tests found. It is possible to check and prepare
the system by writting setup and teardown files that are executed after
and before each test.
Each test is represented by Test object which have many configuration
attributes such us execution delay, termination signal expected and
many others. Tests have pre and post conditions that are been checked
at execution time. You may save the test output and compose Conditions
objects to assure concrete states of the system during the tests
execution.
atheist free all resources used by the user automatically at the end of
the execution. See the Atheist manual for more information about data
structures and tools provided by the framework.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has
documentation in the GNU info(1) format; see below.
