This directory contains code and data used to test all the algorithms and functions implemented in mlpack.
Test Directories Structure
*_test.cpp - methods tests
main_tests/*_test.cpp - binding tests
data - data needed to run the tests
Add tests
We have a rich test suite, consisting of almost 2000 tests (and still counting). It is suggested to add tests when:
Adding new functionality.
Fixing regressions and bugs.
Building Tests
To build the test suite you can simply run make mlpack_test.
To run Tests
We use Catch2 to write our tests. To run all tests, you can simply run:
./bin/mlpack_test
To run all tests in a particular file you can run:
./bin/mlpack_test "[testname]"
where testname is the name of the test suite. For example to run all
collaborative filtering tests implemented in cv_test.cpp you can run:
./bin/mlpack_test "[CVTest]"
Now similarly you can run all the binding related tests using:
./bin/mlpack_test "[BindingTests]"
To run a single test, you can explicitly provide the name of the test, for example, to run
BinaryClassificationMetricsTest implemented in cv_test.cpp you can run the following:
./bin/mlpack_test BinaryClassificationMetricsTest
Catch2 provides many other features like filter, checkout the Catch2 reference section - for more details.
