1 FATE Automated Testing Environment
3 FATE provides a regression testsuite that can be run locally or configured
4 to send reports to fate.ffmpeg.org.
5 In order to run, it needs a large amount of data (samples and references)
6 that is provided separately from the actual source distribution.
8 Use the following command to get the fate test samples
10 # make fate-rsync SAMPLES=fate-suite/
12 To inform the build system about the testsuite location, pass
13 `--samples=<path to the samples>` to configure or set the SAMPLES Make
14 variable or the FATE_SAMPLES environment variable to a suitable value.
16 For information on how to set up FATE to send results to the official FFmpeg
17 testing framework, please refer to the following wiki page:

20 FATE Makefile targets:
23 Will list all fate/regression test targets.
26 Run the FATE test suite (requires the fate-suite dataset).
28 Fate Makefile variables:
31 Verbosity level, can be set to 0, 1 or 2.
32 * 0: show just the test arguments
33 * 1: show just the command used in the test
37 Specify or override the path to the FATE samples at make time, it has a
38 meaning only while running the regression tests.
41 Specify how many threads to use while running regression tests, it is
42 quite useful to detect thread-related regressions.
