NAME¶

jtdiff - Regression Test Harness

DESCRIPTION¶

Compare Options

-r | -reason

Include the reason string in the comparison, as well as the type (i.e. Passed, Failed, etc.)

-s | -super

Perform a "super-diff" looking for result sets within a directory hierarchy. The hierarchy must be arranged as follows: PATH/PLATFORM/YEAR/DAY_OF_YEAR/TEST_RESULTS, where PATH is given by the single directory argument, PLATFORM is the name of the platform on which the tests were run, YEAR and DAY_OF_YEAR are numbers identifying when the tests were run, and TESTSUITE_RESULTS is a fixed string identifying when to find the result set in the hierarchy. The default is "JTreport/text/summary.txt", but it can be set to a different value by setting the system property "jtdiff.super.testResults". It may identify any source of results acceptable to a standard invocation of jtdiff. Set system property jtdiff.html.compact=true for a more output format, with symbols replacing the words "pass" (check mark), "fail" (cross), "error" (cross in a circle), and "not run" (horizontal bar).
