gtester1
Test running utility
Usage
gtester [OPTION…] test-program
Overview
gtester is a utility to run unit tests that have been written using the GLib test framework.
Since GLib 2.62, gtester-report is deprecated. Use TAP for reporting test results instead, and feed it to the test harness provided by your build system.
When called with the -o option, gtester writes an XML report of the test results, which can be converted into HTML using the gtester-report utility.
