NAME

       gnattest - Create AUnit test skeletons and harness for a project

SYNOPSIS

       gnattest -Pprojname [-harness-dir=dirname] [switches] [filename] [-cargs gcc_switches]

DESCRIPTION

       gnattest  is  an  ASIS-based  utility  that  creates  unit-test  skeletons  as  well  as  a  test  driver
       infrastructure (harness).  gnattest creates a skeleton for each visible subprogram in the packages  under
       consideration when they do not exist already.

       In  order  to  process  source  files  from  a project, gnattest has to semantically analyze the sources.
       Therefore, test skeletons can only be generated for legal Ada units.

       If a unit is dependent on other units, those units should be among the source files of the project or  of
       other projects imported by this one.

       Generated skeletons and harnesses are based on the AUnit testing framework. AUnit is an Ada adaptation of
       the xxxUnit testing frameworks, similar to JUnit for Java or CppUnit for C++.

       While  it  is advised that gnattest users read the AUnit manual, deep knowledge of AUnit is not necessary
       for using gnattest.  For correct operation of gnattest, the libaunitV-dev package  should  be  installed.
       The  appropriate  version  V  is  given  in  the  Recommends  field of the asis-programs package (the one
       containing this manual page).
