NAME

       sadt - simple DEP-8 test runner

SYNOPSIS

       sadt [options] [test-name...]

DESCRIPTION

       sadt is a simple implementation of DEP-8 (“automatic as-installed package testing”) test
       runner.

       It is your responsibility to satisfy tests' dependencies.  sadt won't attempt to install
       any missing packages.  If a test's dependencies cannot be satisfied by packages that are
       currently installed, the test will be skipped.

       sadt won't build the package even if a test declares the build-needed restriction.
       Instead, such a test will be skipped.  However, you can build the package manually, and
       then tell sadt to assume that the package is already built using the
       -b/--built-source-tree.

       sadt doesn't implement any virtualisation arrangements, therefore it skips tests that
       declare the breaks-testbed restriction.

OPTIONS

       -v, --verbose
           Make the output more verbose.

       -b, --built-source-tree
           Assume that the source tree is already built.  This is equivalent to
           --ignore-restriction=build-needed.

       --run-autodep8, --no-run-autodep8
           Control whether to run autodep8(1) to determine the tests to run.  By default,
           autodep8 will be run.

       --ignore-restriction=restriction
           Don't skip tests that declare the restriction.

       -h, --help
           Show a help message and exit.
