===== FreeBSD Developer Summit: ATF =====

//Thursday, May 13, 2013 from 1:30pm to 4:30pm//

==== Overview ====

The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) package is a collection of libraries to simplify the creation of test programs in a variety of languages. With %%FreeBSD%% growing more architectures, platforms, features and interfaces, it's increasingly more difficult to not break something, somewhere. Having unit tests is a good way of managing the quality of the source code and ATF is perceived to be a good infrastructure to use.

==== Goals ====

Establish consensus or relay information about the following list of topics so that real progress can be made and more people can get involved.

==== Topics ====

^ # ^ Topic Description ^
| 1 | Where to place unit tests in the source tree |
| 2 | Where and how to install unit tests |
| 3 | What tests have been ported from %%NetBSD%% already |
| 4 | What's a priority list of tests we like to have |
| 5 | How to automate running tests |
| 6 | Whether to make it part of tinderbox |
| 7 | Any additional topics that have been brought up |

==== Attending ====

In order to attend you need register for the [[/DevSummit|developer summit]] as well as by email for the session and be confirmed by the working group organizer.
