Hello, back when I was actively working on DRI drivers almost three years ago, I always felt uneasy about the fact that I didn't have an extensive array of tests that I could rely on to test for regressions.
Now I've decided to do something about it. I've taken Glean and some code from Mesa and wrapped it with Python and cmake glue to - execute OpenGL tests without user interaction and - neatly format the results in HTML You can find the current version (and a sample HTML summary, to get an idea of what they look like at the moment) at http://homepages.upb.de/prefect/piglit/ The idea is to make testing dead simple for driver developers. I believe that Piglit already makes it quite simple, but I'm sure there's still room for improvement. My current plans are: - Hunt some bugs in R300, to get a better feeling for how the tool fares in practice - Integrate tests from Mesa; unfortunately, this needs manual work because those tests are mainly interactive, but it's definitely necessary to make this useful I'm also considering setting up a public repository somewhere, perhaps on Sourceforge. Please give it a try when you have a little time to spare and tell me if you find it useful (or more importantly, why you don't find it useful), and where it could be improved.
