Automated tests

The libcnotify package comes with automated tests, which are stored in the sub directory: tests.

To run the automated tests:

make check

The automated tests are currently only intended to run on a system that can run a bash shell.

Detecting memory leakage

The tests can also be run with valgrind to detect memory leakage.

Running the automated tests with valgrind will significantly impact the speed at which they are run.

To run the automated tests with valgrind:

make check CHECK_WITH_VALGRIND=1;

If the automated test process detects memory leaks it will end the specific test and indicate it failed.
