You need to compile ginkgo with {\ttfamily -\/DGINKGO\+\_\+\+BUILD\+\_\+\+TESTS=ON} option to be able to run the tests.\hypertarget{testing_ginkgo_autotoc_md8}{}\doxysubsubsection{\texorpdfstring{Using make test}{Using make test}}\label{testing_ginkgo_autotoc_md8}
After configuring Ginkgo, use the following command inside the build folder to run all tests:\+


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{make\ test}

\end{DoxyCode}


The output should contain several lines of the form:\+


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\ \ \ \ Start\ \ 1:\ path/to/test}
\DoxyCodeLine{1/13\ Test\ \ \#1:\ path/to/test\ .............................\ \ \ Passed\ \ \ \ 0.01\ sec}

\end{DoxyCode}


To run only a specific test and see more details results (e.\+g. if a test failed) run the following from the build folder:\+


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{./path/to/test}

\end{DoxyCode}


where {\ttfamily path/\+to/\+test} is the path returned by {\ttfamily make test}.\hypertarget{testing_ginkgo_autotoc_md9}{}\doxysubsubsection{\texorpdfstring{Using make quick\+\_\+test}{Using make quick\+\_\+test}}\label{testing_ginkgo_autotoc_md9}
After compiling Ginkgo, use the following command inside the build folder to run a small subset of tests that should execute quickly:\+


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{make\ quick\_test}

\end{DoxyCode}


These tests do not use GPU features except for a few device property queries, so they may still fail if Ginkgo was compiled with GPU support, but no such GPU is available. The output is equivalent to {\ttfamily make test}.\hypertarget{testing_ginkgo_autotoc_md10}{}\doxysubsubsection{\texorpdfstring{Using CTest}{Using CTest}}\label{testing_ginkgo_autotoc_md10}
The tests can also be ran through CTest from the command line, for example when in a configured build directory:\+


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{ctest\ -\/T\ start\ -\/T\ build\ -\/T\ test\ -\/T\ submit}

\end{DoxyCode}


Will start a new test campaign (usually in {\ttfamily Experimental} mode), build Ginkgo with the set configuration, run the tests and submit the results to our CDash dashboard.

Another option is to use Ginkgo\textquotesingle{}s CTest script which is configured to build Ginkgo with default settings, runs the tests and submits the test to our CDash dashboard automatically.

To run the script, use the following command:\+


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{ctest\ -\/S\ cmake/CTestScript.cmake}

\end{DoxyCode}


The default settings are for our own CI system. Feel free to configure the script before launching it through variables or by directly changing its values. A documentation can be found in the script itself.
