xCAT-test

Unit tests that run from the source checkout are split by implementation language:

Test type	Location	Runner
Perl unit tests	xCAT-test/unit/*.t	prove -r xCAT-test/unit
Shell unit tests	xCAT-test/bats/*.bats	bats -r xCAT-test/bats
CLI functional tests	xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/ and xCAT-test/autotest/bundle/	xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -t <case> or xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -b <bundle>

Use Perl .t tests for Perl modules, Perl scripts, templates, and repository artifacts. Use BATS tests for shell-script behavior that can be exercised from the checkout by sourcing a shell library or script and shadowing external commands.

Shell behavior should not be tested by Perl tests that grep shell source. Put those tests under xCAT-test/bats instead.

See unit/README.md and bats/README.md for the detailed rules for each unit-test suite.
