Hey Niels,


I'm no expert on bitcoind tests, but maybe these bits of information can
help you get started:


The steps to build bitcoind typically involve running:


./autogen.sh

./configure

make

make install


When you run autogen, the autoreconf
<https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.68/html_node/autor=
econf-Invocation.html>
tool
is invoked which creates the configure script that gets run next. The
configure script is generated based on the configure.ac
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/configure.ac> file, which
performs a number of compatibility checks for the compiler and other
tooling. You can see these checks being performed with
the AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG calls.


My understanding is that running configure does a lot of system
compatibility checks. When you run "make", I do not think any tests get run
by default, but I could be wrong about this. If you want to run unit tests
you need to run "make check". You can read more about this here
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/test/README.md>


There are unit tests for bitcoind written in C++ and a lot of integration
and higher level tests written in python.


Hopefully this information was useful and accurate. Again, I could be wrong
about exactly how the build process works as it's not super obvious.
Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable than me can chime in here if I
got anything wrong.


Best,

Alex

As no one was able to respond, a gentle reminder : =F0=9F=98=8A<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
I&#39;m working as (software) test specialist and run private a full bitcoi=
n node (based upon Raspberry Pi 4).<br>
I&#39;ve been trying to figure out the tests performed during installation/=
upgrade/compilation of the software for the node.<br>
Is there any overview on what&#39;s the (common) test approach, or other st=
uff. Because the tests on GitHub don&#39;t help me that much.<br>
I&#39;d like to figure out what/how is tested, maybe refine test cases, and=
 try some manual test also, as part of learning.<br>
<br>
Who would be able to join me or share information that guides me.<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
Niels.<br>
