This tool was developed during GSoC 2014 by Willem Van Iseghem.
the CCExtractor test suite is a testing tool to keep CCExtractor consistent over coding changes. Originally this was (and sometimes still is) achieved by running a set of sample video's on a certain CCExtractor version (or GitHub commit) and comparing the generated output to previous stored output (which is known to be correct).
The test suite automates this work by loading a file which defines entries that contain a input sample, a list of commands for CCExtractor and a correct output result to compare against. The results are either stored in a report, or can be (starting from 0.8) sent towards a server.
It's written in C# and runs under Mono. It is (starting from 0.8) command-line only.
| Short | Long | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| -e | --entries | A XML file containing the test entries | Yes |
| -m | --method | How should the test suite behave for reporting? options: Report (default), Server, Matrix | No |
| -u | --url | If the method is Server, this should point to the url where the suite should send requests to | No |
| -c | --config | A XML file that contains the configuration | No |
| -d | --debug | Enable debugging (extra output) | No |
| -t | --tempfolder | Uses the provided location as a temp folder to store the results in | No |
| -b | --breakonchanges | Break if a change in output (between generated output and correct output) is detected | No |
| --tcp | Sets the TCP port that will be used in case of entries that need TCP | No | |
| --udp | Sets the UDP port that will be used in case of entries that need UDP | No | |
| --executable | Overrrides the CCExtractor executable path | No | |
| --ffmpeg | Overrrides the FFMpeg executable path | No | |
| --reportfolder | Overrides the folder location where reports will be stored | No | |
| --samplefolder | Overrides the folder location that contains the samples | No | |
| --resultfolder | Overrides the folder location that contains the correct results | No | |
| --comparer | Overrides the type of comparer that will be used | No | |
| --timeout | Overrides the timeout value (default 180 seconds). This indicates how long a single test entry may take to complete. Minimum duration is 60 seconds. | No | |
| --help | Shows this screen | No |

The following script can be used to run the testsuite on linux, by passing the required arguments to it:
#!/bin/bash
exec mono CCExtractorTester.exe "$@"
- CommandLineParser NuGet package (GitHub, nuget)
- CCExtractor in some compiled form
- A set of sample files, together with correct outputs
