Adding tests to test suite
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To add a new test to the test suite, create a sub-directory in the tests
directory that conforms to the regular expression *test_*. To configure
a test you need to add the following files to your new test directory,
*test_name* for example:
* OpenMC input XML files
* **test_name.py** - python test driver script, please refer to other
tests to see how to construct. Any output files that are generated
during testing must be removed at the end of this script.
* **results.py** - python script that extracts results from statepoint
output files. By default it should look for a binary file, but can
take an argument to overwrite which statepoint file is processed,
whether it is at a different batch or with an HDF5 extension. This
script must output a results file that is named *results_test.dat*.
* **results_true.dat** - ASCII file that contains the expected results
from the test. The file *results_test.dat* is compared to this file
during the execution of the python test driver script.
In addition to this description, please see the various types of tests that
are already included in the test suite to see how to create them. If all is
implemented correctly, the new test directory will automatically be added
to the CTest framework.
