In order to capture the cost of various API calls in the framework and test the correctness of the API, a set of basic tests have been created. They primarily fall under two categories:
-
Semantic tests: These tests perform correctness checks on the API call to ensure the right data is being retrieved. The semantic tests are categorized into string table tests, trace point tests and notification tests.
-
Performance tests: These test attempt to capture the average cost of various operations that are a part of creating trace points in applications. The tests are categorized into data structure tests and instrumentation tests.
For more detail on the framework, the tests that are provided and their usage, please consult the XPTI Framework library documentation.
