Howto: Using DejaGnu for Testing

A Simple Introduction

Embecosm Application Note EAN 8
Issue 1, April 2010

DejaGnu is the testing framework for the GNU project. It is a powerful system for setting up automated test environments that are highly portable. However the documentation of this technology can prove daunting for the first time user.

This application note was written in response to the author's frustration when setting up a DejaGnu test framework without any prior experience. It provides a simple guide for any engineer setting up such an environment for the first time.

Robust testing is central to all Embecosm's work. We are able to present the content of this tutorial as a one day seminar. We can also offer consultancy to help users set up their own test environments. Please contact us for more details.
