Test suite for VLC

Postby modoMojo » 06 Mar 2013 10:00

Hi,

I would like to get involved with developing VLC. I have some experience in coding with C++ and would like to get to know C and video and audio processing.

I think a good place to start will be writing unit tests for various modules. Can anyone recommend a good place to start that has a relatively low barrier to entry?

Also could someone let me know how to integrate a unit test into the test suite? Is there a current procedure for that?

I have looked at the test suite page at http://wiki.videolan.org/Test_Suite. It's pretty light on the details. And as of version 2.1.0 that I cloned from the git repo I can't find the ../modules/misc/tests - there's no 'tests' folder at all. Neither is there a test.sh script for that matter. So it seems that this area is ripe for some work and I would love to get stuck into it. Is there anyone else working on the test suite? And is there anyone who has some advice for how to get started?

Cheers!
