<h3 class="section">7.5 The Java library testsuites.</h3>
<p>Runtime tests are executed via ‘<samp><span class="samp">make check</span></samp>’ in the
<samp><var>target</var><span class="file">/libjava/testsuite</span></samp> directory in the build
tree. Additional runtime tests can be checked into this testsuite.
<p>Regression testing of the core packages in libgcj is also covered by the
Mauve testsuite. The <a href="http://sourceware.org/mauve/">Mauve Project</a>
develops tests for the Java Class Libraries. These tests are run as part
of libgcj testing by placing the Mauve tree within the libjava testsuite
sources at <samp><span class="file">libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve</span></samp>, or by specifying
the location of that tree when invoking ‘<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>’, as in
‘<samp><span class="samp">make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check</span></samp>’.
<p>To detect regressions, a mechanism in <samp><span class="file">mauve.exp</span></samp> compares the
failures for a test run against the list of expected failures in
<samp><span class="file">libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/xfails</span></samp> from the source hierarchy.
Update this file when adding new failing tests to Mauve, or when fixing
bugs in libgcj that had caused Mauve test failures.
<p>We encourage developers to contribute test cases to Mauve.
