-<p>EUnit is a unit testing framework for Erlang. It is very powerful
-and flexible, is easy to use, and has small syntactical overhead.</p>

-</ul>
-
-<p>EUnit builds on ideas from the family of unit testing frameworks for
-Object Oriented languages that originated with JUnit by Beck and Gamma
-(and Beck's previous framework SUnit for Smalltalk). However, EUnit uses
-techniques more adapted to functional and concurrent programming, and is
-typically less verbose than its relatives.</p>
-
-<p>Although EUnit uses many preprocessor macros, they have been designed to
-be as nonintrusive as possible, and should not cause conflicts with
-existing code. Adding EUnit tests to a module should thus not normally
-require changing existing code. Furthermore, tests that only exercise
-the exported functions of a module can always be placed in a completely
-separate module, avoiding any conflicts entirely.</p>
-
-<h3><a name="Unit_testing">Unit testing</a></h3>
-
-<p>Unit Testing is testing of individual program "units" in relative
-isolation. There is no particular size requirement: a unit can be a
-function, a module, a process, or even a whole application, but the most
-typical testing units are individual functions or modules. In order to
-test a unit, you specify a set of individual tests, set up the smallest
-necessary environment for being able to run those tests (often, you
-don't need to do any setup at all), you run the tests and collect the
-results, and finally you do any necessary cleanup so that the test can
-be run again later. A Unit Testing Framework tries to help you in each
-stage of this process, so that it is easy to write tests, easy to run
-them, and easy to see which tests failed (so you can fix the bugs).</p>
-
-<h4><a name="Advantages_of_unit_testing">Advantages of unit testing</a></h4>
-
-<dl>
- <dt>Reduces the risks of changing the program</dt>
- <dd>Most programs will be modified during their lifetime: bugs will be
- fixed, features will be added, optimizations may become necessary, or
- the code will need to be refactored or cleaned up in other ways to
- make it easier to work with. But every change to a working program is
- a risk of introducing new bugs - or reintroducing bugs that had
- previously been fixed. Having a set of unit tests that you can run
- with very little effort makes it easy to know that the code still
- works as it should (this use is called <em>regression testing</em>;
- see <a href="#Terminology">Terminology</a>). This goes a long way to reduce the
- resistance to changing and refactoring code.</dd>
- <dt>Helps guide and speed up the development process</dt>
- <dd>By focusing on getting the code to pass the tests, the programmer
- can become more productive, not overspecify or get lost in premature
- optimizations, and create code that is correct from the very beginning
- (so-called <em>test-driven development</em>; see <a href="#Terminology">Terminology</a>).</dd>
- <dt>Helps separate interface from implementation</dt>
- <dd>When writing tests, the programmer may discover dependencies
- (in order to get the tests to run) that ought not to be there, and
- which need to be abstracted away to get a cleaner design. This helps
- eliminate bad dependencies before they spread throughout the
- code.</dd>
- <dt>Makes component integration easier</dt>
- <dd>By testing in a bottom-up fashion, beginning with the smallest
- program units and creating a confidence in that they work as they
- should, it becomes easier to test that a higher-level component,
- consisting of several such units, also behaves according to
- specification (known as <em>integration testing</em>; see <a href="#Terminology">Terminology</a>).</dd>
- <dt>Is self-documenting</dt>
- <dd>The tests can be read as documentation, typically showing both
- examples of correct and incorrect usage, along with the expected
- consequences.</dd>
-</dl>
-
-<h3><a name="Terminology">Terminology</a></h3>
-
-<dl>
- <dt>Unit testing</dt>
- <dd>Testing that a program unit behaves as it is supposed to do (in
- itself), according to its specifications. Unit tests have an important
- function as regression tests, when the program later is modified for
- some reason, since they check that the program still behaves according
- to specification.</dd>
- <dt>Regression testing</dt>
- <dd>Running a set of tests after making changes to a program, to check
- that the program behaves as it did before the changes (except, of
- course, for any intentional changes in behaviour). Unit tests are
- important as regression tests, but regression testing can involve more
- than just unit testing, and may also test behaviour that might not be
- part of the normal specification (such as bug-for-bug-compatibility).
- </dd>
- <dt>Integration testing</dt>
- <dd>Testing that a number of individually developed program units
- (assumed to already have been separately unit tested) work together as
- expected. Depending on the system being developed, integration testing
- may be as simple as "just another level of unit testing", but might
- also involve other kinds of tests (compare <em>system testing</em>).
-</dd>
- <dt>System testing</dt>
- <dd>Testing that a complete system behaves according to its
- specification. Specifically, system testing should not require knowing
- any details about the implementation. It typically involves testing
- many different aspects of the system behaviour apart from the basic
- functionality, such as performance, usability, and reliability.</dd>
- <dt>Test-driven development</dt>
- <dd>A program development technique where you continuously write tests
- <em>before</em> you implement the code that is supposed to pass those
- tests. This can help you focus on solving the right problems, and not
- make a more complicated implementation than necessary, by letting the
- unit tests determine when a program is "done": if it fulfils its
- specifications, there is no need to keep adding functionality.</dd>
- <dt>Mock object</dt>
- <dd>Sometimes, testing some unit <code>A</code> (e.g., a function) requires that
- it collaborates somehow with some other unit <code>B</code> (perhaps being passed
- as an argument, or by reference) - but <code>B</code> has not been implemented
- yet. A "mock object" - an object which, for the purposes of testing
- <code>A</code>, looks and behaves like a real <code>B</code> - might then be used instead.
- (This is of course only useful if it would be significantly more work
- to implement a real <code>B</code> than to create a mock object.)</dd>
- <dt>Test case</dt>
- <dd>A single, well-defined test, that somehow can be uniquely
- identified. When executed, the test case either <em>passes</em> or
- <em>fails</em>; the test report should identify exactly which test
- cases failed.</dd>
- <dt>Test suite</dt>
- <dd>A collection of test cases, generally with a specific, common
- target for testing, such as a single function, module, or subsystem. A
- test suite may also be recursively composed by smaller test
- suites.</dd>

-
-<h4><a name="Including_the_EUnit_header_file">Including the EUnit header file</a></h4>
-
-The simplest way to use EUnit in an Erlang module is to add the
-following line at the beginning of the module (after the <code>-module</code>
-declaration, but before any function definitions):
-<pre> -include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").</pre>
-
-This will have the following effect:
-<ul>
- <li>Creates an exported function <code>test()</code> (unless testing is turned
- off, and the module does not already contain a test() function), that
- can be used to run all the unit tests defined in the module</li>
- <li>Causes all functions whose names match <code>..._test()</code> or <code>..._test_()</code>
- to be automatically exported from the module (unless testing is
- turned off, or the <code>EUNIT_NOAUTO</code> macro is defined)</li>
- <li>Makes all the preprocessor macros of EUnit available, to help
- writing tests</li>
-</ul>
-
-<strong>Note:</strong> For <code>-include_lib(...)</code> to work, the Erlang
-module search path <em>must</em> contain a directory whose name ends in
-<code>eunit/ebin</code> (pointing to the <code>ebin</code> subdirectory of the EUnit
-installation directory). If EUnit is installed as <code>lib/eunit</code> under your
-Erlang/OTP system directory, its <code>ebin</code> subdirectory will be
-automatically added to the search path when Erlang starts. Otherwise,
-you need to add the directory explicitly, by passing a <code>-pa</code> flag to the
-<code>erl</code> or <code>erlc</code> command. For example, a Makefile could contain the
-following action for compiling <code>.erl</code> files:
-<pre> erlc -pa "path/to/eunit/ebin" $(ERL_COMPILE_FLAGS) -o$(EBIN) $&lt;</pre>
-or if you want Eunit to always be available when you run Erlang
-interactively, you can add a line like the following to your
-<code>$HOME/.erlang</code> file:
-<pre> code:add_path("/path/to/eunit/ebin").</pre>
-
-<h4><a name="Writing_simple_test_functions">Writing simple test functions</a></h4>
-
-<p>The EUnit framework makes it extremely easy to write unit tests in
-Erlang. There are a few different ways of writing them, though, so we
-start with the simplest:</p>
-
-<p>A function with a name ending in <code>..._test()</code> is recognized by EUnit as
-a simple test function - it takes no arguments, and its execution either
-succeeds (returning some arbitrary value that EUnit will throw away), or
-fails by throwing an exception of some kind (or by not terminating, in
-which case it will be aborted after a while).</p>
-
-An example of a simple test function could be the following:
-<pre> reverse_test() -&gt; lists:reverse([1,2,3]).</pre><p>
-This just tests that the function <code>lists:reverse(List)</code> does not crash
-when <code>List</code> is <code>[1,2,3]</code>. It is not a great test, but many people write
-simple functions like this one to test the basic functionality of their
-code, and those tests can be used directly by EUnit, without changes,
-as long as their function names match.</p>
-
-<h5><a name="Use_exceptions_to_signal_failure">Use exceptions to signal failure</a></h5>
-
-To write more interesting tests, we need to make them crash (throw an
-exception) when they don't get the result they expect. A simple way of
-doing this is to use pattern matching with <code>=</code>, as in the following
-examples:
-<pre> reverse_nil_test() -&gt; [] = lists:reverse([]).
- reverse_one_test() -&gt; [1] = lists:reverse([1]).
- reverse_two_test() -&gt; [2,1] = lists:reverse([1,2]).</pre><p>
-If there was some bug in <code>lists:reverse/1</code> that made it return something
-other than <code>[2,1]</code> when it got <code>[1,2]</code> as input, then the last test
-above would throw a <code>badmatch</code> error. The first two (we assume they do
-not get a <code>badmatch</code>) would simply return <code>[]</code> and <code>[1]</code>, respectively,
-so both succeed. (Note that EUnit is not psychic: if you write a test
-that returns a value, even if it is the wrong value, EUnit will consider
-it a success. You must make sure that the test is written so that it
-causes a crash if the result is not what it should be.)</p>
-
-<h5><a name="Using_assert_macros">Using assert macros</a></h5>
-
-If you want to use Boolean operators for your tests, the <code>assert</code>
-macro comes in handy (see <a href="#EUnit_macros">EUnit macros</a> for details):
-<pre> length_test() -&gt; ?assert(length([1,2,3]) =:= 3).</pre><p>
-The <code>?assert(Expression)</code> macro will evaluate <code>Expression</code>, and if that
-does not evaluate to <code>true</code>, it will throw an exception; otherwise it
-just returns <code>ok</code>. In the above example, the test will thus fail if the
-call to <code>length</code> does not return 3.</p>
-
-<h4><a name="Running_EUnit">Running EUnit</a></h4>
-
-<p>If you have added the declaration
-<code>-include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl")</code> to your module, as described
-above, you only need to compile the module, and run the automatically
-exported function <code>test()</code>. For example, if your module was named <code>m</code>,
-then calling <code>m:test()</code> will run EUnit on all the tests defined in the
-module. You do not need to write <code>-export</code> declarations for the test
-functions. This is all done by magic.</p>
-
-<p>You can also use the function <a href="eunit.html#test-1"><code>eunit:test/1</code></a> to run arbitrary
-tests, for example to try out some more advanced test descriptors (see
-<a href="#EUnit_test_representation">EUnit test representation</a>). For example, running
-<code>eunit:test(m)</code> does the same thing as the auto-generated function
-<code>m:test()</code>, while <code>eunit:test({inparallel, m})</code> runs the same test
-cases but executes them all in parallel.</p>
-
-<h5><a name="Putting_tests_in_separate_modules">Putting tests in separate modules</a></h5>
-
-<p>If you want to separate your test code from your normal code (at least
-for testing the exported functions), you can simply write the test
-functions in a module named <code>m_tests</code> (note: not <code>m_test</code>), if your
-module is named <code>m</code>. Then, whenever you ask EUnit to test the module
-<code>m</code>, it will also look for the module <code>m_tests</code> and run those tests as
-well. See <code>ModuleName</code> in the section <a href="#Primitives">Primitives</a> for details.</p>
-
-<h5><a name="EUnit_captures_standard_output">EUnit captures standard output</a></h5>
-
-<p>If your test code writes to the standard output, you may be surprised to
-see that the text does not appear on the console when the tests are
-running. This is because EUnit captures all standard output from test
-functions (this also includes setup and cleanup functions, but not
-generator functions), so that it can be included in the test report if
-errors occur. To bypass EUnit and print text directly to the console
-while testing, you can write to the <code>user</code> output stream, as in
-<code>io:format(user, "~w", [Term])</code>. The recommended way of doing this is to
-use the EUnit <a href="#Debugging_macros">Debugging macros</a>, which make it much simpler.</p>
-
-<h4><a name="Writing_test_generating_functions">Writing test generating functions</a></h4>
-
-<p>A drawback of simple test functions is that you must write a separate
-function (with a separate name) for each test case. A more compact way
-of writing tests (and much more flexible, as we shall see), is to write
-functions that <em>return</em> tests, instead of <em>being</em> tests.</p>
-
-<p>A function with a name ending in <code>..._test_()</code> (note the final
-underscore) is recognized by EUnit as a <em>test generator</em>
-function. Test generators return a <em>representation</em> of a <em>set
-of tests</em> to be executed by EUnit.</p>
-
-<h5><a name="Representing_a_test_as_data">Representing a test as data</a></h5>
-
-The most basic representation of a test is a single fun-expression that
-takes no arguments. For example, the following test generator:
-<pre> basic_test_() -&gt;
- fun () -&gt; ?assert(1 + 1 =:= 2) end.</pre>
-will have the same effect as the following simple test:
-<pre> simple_test() -&gt;
- ?assert(1 + 1 =:= 2).</pre><p>
-(in fact, EUnit will handle all simple tests just like it handles
-fun-expressions: it will put them in a list, and run them one by one).</p>
-
-<h5><a name="Using_macros_to_write_tests">Using macros to write tests</a></h5>
-
-To make tests more compact and readable, as well as automatically add
-information about the line number in the source code where a test
-occurred (and reduce the number of characters you have to type), you can
-use the <code>_test</code> macro (note the initial underscore character), like
-this:
-<pre> basic_test_() -&gt;
- ?_test(?assert(1 + 1 =:= 2)).</pre><p>
-The <code>_test</code> macro takes any expression (the "body") as argument, and
-places it within a fun-expression (along with some extra information).
-The body can be any kind of test expression, just like the body of a
-simple test function.</p>
-
-<h5><a name="Underscore-prefixed_macros_create_test_objects">Underscore-prefixed macros create test objects</a></h5>
-
-But this example can be made even shorter! Most test macros, such as the
-family of <code>assert</code> macros, have a corresponding form with an initial
-underscore character, which automatically adds a <code>?_test(...)</code> wrapper.
-The above example can then simply be written:
-<pre> basic_test_() -&gt;
- ?_assert(1 + 1 =:= 2).</pre><p>
-which has exactly the same meaning (note the <code>_assert</code> instead of
-<code>assert</code>). You can think of the initial underscore as signalling
-<em>test object</em>.</p>
-
-<h4><a name="An_example">An example</a></h4>
-
-Sometimes, an example says more than a thousand words. The following
-small Erlang module shows how EUnit can be used in practice.
-<pre> -module(fib).
- -export([fib/1]).
- -include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").
-
- fib(0) -&gt; 1;
- fib(1) -&gt; 1;
- fib(N) when N &gt; 1 -&gt; fib(N-1) + fib(N-2).
-
- fib_test_() -&gt;
- [?_assert(fib(0) =:= 1),
- ?_assert(fib(1) =:= 1),
- ?_assert(fib(2) =:= 2),
- ?_assert(fib(3) =:= 3),
- ?_assert(fib(4) =:= 5),
- ?_assert(fib(5) =:= 8),
- ?_assertException(error, function_clause, fib(-1)),
- ?_assert(fib(31) =:= 2178309)
- ].</pre>
-
-<p>(Author's note: When I first wrote this example, I happened to write a
-<code>*</code> instead of <code>+</code> in the <code>fib</code> function. Of course, this showed up
-immediately when I ran the tests.)</p>
-
-<p>See <a href="#EUnit_test_representation">EUnit test representation</a> for a full list of all the ways
-you can specify test sets in EUnit.</p>
-
-<h4><a name="Disabling_testing">Disabling testing</a></h4>
-
-Testing can be turned off by defining the <code>NOTEST</code> macro when compiling,
-for example as an option to <code>erlc</code>, as in:
-<pre> erlc -DNOTEST my_module.erl</pre>
-or by adding a macro definition to the code, <em>before the EUnit header
-file is included</em>:
-<pre> -define(NOTEST, 1).</pre><p>
-(the value is not important, but should typically be 1 or <code>true</code>).
-Note that unless the <code>EUNIT_NOAUTO</code> macro is defined, disabling testing
-will also automatically strip all test functions from the code, except
-for any that are explicitly declared as exported.</p>
-
-For instance, to use EUnit in your application, but with testing turned
-off by default, put the following lines in a header file:
-<pre> -define(NOTEST, true).
- -include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").</pre>
-and then make sure that every module of your application includes that
-header file. This means that you have a only a single place to modify in
-order to change the default setting for testing. To override the <code>NOTEST</code>
-setting without modifying the code, you can define <code>TEST</code> in a compiler
-option, like this:
-<pre> erlc -DTEST my_module.erl</pre>
-
-<p>See <a href="#Compilation_control_macros">Compilation control macros</a> for details about these
-macros.</p>
-
-<h4><a name="Avoiding_compile-time_dependency_on_EUnit">Avoiding compile-time dependency on EUnit</a></h4>
-
-If you are distributing the source code for your application for other
-people to compile and run, you probably want to ensure that the code
-compiles even if EUnit is not available. Like the example in the
-previous section, you can put the following lines in a common header
-file:
-<pre> -ifdef(TEST).
- -include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").
- -endif.</pre><p>
-and, of course, also make sure that you place all test code that uses
-EUnit macros within <code>-ifdef(TEST)</code> or <code>-ifdef(EUNIT)</code> sections.</p>
-
-
-<h3><a name="EUnit_macros">EUnit macros</a></h3>
-
-<p>Although all the functionality of EUnit is avaliable even without the
-use of preprocessor macros, the EUnit header file defines a number of
-such macros in order to make it as easy as possible to write unit tests
-as compactly as possible and without getting too many details in the
-way.</p>
-
-<p>Except where explicitly stated, using EUnit macros will never introduce
-run-time dependencies on the EUnit library code, regardless of whether
-your code is compiled with testing enabled or disabled.</p>

-<h4><a name="Simple_test_objects">Simple test objects</a></h4>
-
-A <em>simple test object</em> is one of the following:
-<ul>
- <li>A nullary functional value (i.e., a fun that takes zero
- arguments). Examples:
-<pre> fun () -&gt; ... end</pre>
-<pre> fun some_function/0</pre>
-<pre> fun some_module:some_function/0</pre>
- </li>
- <li>A pair of atoms <code>{ModuleName, FunctionName}</code>, referring to the
- function <code>ModuleName:FunctionName/0</code></li>
- <li>A pair <code>{LineNumber, SimpleTest}</code>, where <code>LineNumber</code> is a
- nonnegative integer and <code>SimpleTest</code> is another simple test
- object. <code>LineNumber</code> should indicate the source line of the test.
- Pairs like this are usually only created via <code>?_test(...)</code> macros;
- see <a href="#Basic_macros">Basic macros</a>.</li>
-</ul><p>
-In brief, a simple test object consists of a single function that takes
-no arguments (possibly annotated with some additional metadata, i.e., a
-line number). Evaluation of the function either <em>succeeds</em>, by
-returning some value (which is ignored), or <em>fails</em>, by throwing
-an exception.</p>
-
-<h4><a name="Test_sets_and_deep_lists">Test sets and deep lists</a></h4>
-
-<p>A test set can be easily created by placing a sequence of test objects
-in a list. If <code>T_1</code>, ..., <code>T_N</code> are individual test objects, then <code>[T_1,
-..., T_N]</code> is a test set consisting of those objects (in that order).</p>
-
-<p>Test sets can be joined in the same way: if <code>S_1</code>, ..., <code>S_K</code> are test
-sets, then <code>[S_1, ..., S_K]</code> is also a test set, where the tests of
-<code>S_i</code> are ordered before those of <code>S_(i+1)</code>, for each subset <code>S_i</code>.</p>
-
-<p>Thus, the main representation of test sets is <em>deep lists</em>, and
-a simple test object can be viewed as a test set containing only a
-single test; there is no difference between <code>T</code> and <code>[T]</code>.</p>
-
-<p>A module can also be used to represent a test set; see <code>ModuleName</code>
-under <a href="#Primitives">Primitives</a> below.</p>
-
-<h4><a name="Titles">Titles</a></h4>
-
-<p>Any test or test set <code>T</code> can be annotated with a title, by wrapping it
-in a pair <code>{Title, T}</code>, where <code>Title</code> is a string. For convenience, any
-test which is normally represented using a tuple can simply be given a
-title string as the first element, i.e., writing <code>{"The Title", ...}</code>
-instead of adding an extra tuple wrapper as in <code>{"The Title", {...}}</code>.</p>
-
-
-<h4><a name="Primitives">Primitives</a></h4>
-
-The following are primitives, which do not contain other test sets as
-arguments:
-<dl>
-<dt><code>ModuleName::atom()</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>A single atom represents a module name, and is equivalent to
-<code>{module, ModuleName}</code>. This is often used as in the call
-<code>eunit:test(some_module)</code>.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{module, ModuleName::atom()}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd><p>This composes a test set from the exported test functions of the
-named module, i.e., those functions with arity zero whose names end
-with <code>_test</code> or <code>_test_</code>. Basically, the <code>..._test()</code> functions become
-simple tests, while the <code>..._test_()</code> functions become generators.</p>
-
-In addition, EUnit will also look for another module whose name is
-<code>ModuleName</code> plus the suffix <code>_tests</code>, and if it exists, all the tests
-from that module will also be added. (If <code>ModuleName</code> already contains
-the suffix <code>_tests</code>, this is not done.) E.g., the specification
-<code>{module, mymodule}</code> will run all tests in the modules <code>mymodule</code> and
-<code>mymodule_tests</code>. Typically, the <code>_tests</code> module should only contain
-test cases that use the public interface of the main module (and no
-other code).
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{application, AppName::atom(), Info::list()}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>This is a normal Erlang/OTP application descriptor, as found in an
- <code>.app</code> file. The resulting test set consists of the modules listed in
- the <code>modules</code> entry in <code>Info</code>.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{application, AppName::atom()}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>This creates a test set from all the modules belonging to the
-specified application, by consulting the application's <code>.app</code> file
-(see <code>{file, FileName}</code>), or if no such file exists, by testing all
-object files in the application's <tt>ebin</tt>-directory (see <code>{dir,
-Path}</code>); if that does not exist, the <code>code:lib_dir(AppName)</code> directory
-is used.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>Path::string()</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>A single string represents the path of a file or directory, and is
-equivalent to <code>{file, Path}</code>, or <code>{dir, Path}</code>, respectively, depending
-on what <code>Path</code> refers to in the file system.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{file, FileName::string()}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd><p>If <code>FileName</code> has a suffix that indicates an object file (<code>.beam</code>),
-EUnit will try to reload the module from the specified file and test it.
-Otherwise, the file is assumed to be a text file containing test
-specifications, which will be read using the standard library function
-<code>file:path_consult/2</code>.</p>
-
-Unless the file name is absolute, the file is first searched for
-relative to the current directory, and then using the normal search path
-(<code>code:get_path()</code>). This means that the names of typical "app" files
-can be used directly, without a path, e.g., <code>"mnesia.app"</code>.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{dir, Path::string()}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>This tests all object files in the specified directory, as if they
-had been individually specified using <code>{file, FileName}</code>.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{generator, GenFun::(() -&gt; Tests)}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>The generator function <code>GenFun</code> is called to produce a test
-set.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{generator, ModuleName::atom(), FunctionName::atom()}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>The function <code>ModuleName:FunctionName()</code> is called to produce a test
-set.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{with, X::any(), [AbstractTestFun::((any()) -&gt; any())]}</code>
-</dt>
-<dd>Distributes the value <code>X</code> over the unary functions in the list,
-turning them into nullary test functions. An <code>AbstractTestFun</code> is like
-an ordinary test fun, but takes one argument instead of zero - it's
-basically missing some information before it can be a proper test. In
-practice, <code>{with, X, [F_1, ..., F_N]}</code> is equivalent to <code>[fun () -&gt;
-F_1(X) end, ..., fun () -&gt; F_N(X) end]</code>. This is particularly useful if
-your abstract test functions are already implemented as proper
-functions: <code>{with, FD, [fun filetest_a/1, fun filetest_b/1, fun
-filetest_c/1]}</code> is equivalent to <code>[fun () -&gt; filetest_a(FD) end, fun ()
--&gt; filetest_b(FD) end, fun () -&gt; filetest_c(FD) end]</code>, but much more
-compact. See also <a href="#Fixtures">Fixtures</a>, below.
-</dd>
-</dl>
-
-<h4><a name="Control">Control</a></h4>
-
-The following representations control how and where tests are executed:
-<dl>
-<dt><code>{spawn, Tests}</code></dt>
-<dd>Runs the specified tests in a separate subprocess, while the current
-test process waits for it to finish. This is useful for tests that need
-a fresh, isolated process state. (Note that EUnit always starts at least
-one such a subprocess automatically; tests are never executed by the
-caller's own process.)</dd>
-<dt><code>{spawn, Node::atom(), Tests}</code></dt>
-<dd>Like <code>{spawn, Tests}</code>, but runs the specified tests on the given
-Erlang node.</dd>
-<dt><code>{timeout, Time::number(), Tests}</code></dt>
-<dd>Runs the specified tests under the given timeout. Time is in
-seconds; e.g., 60 means one minute and 0.1 means 1/10th of a second. If
-the timeout is exceeded, the unfinished tests will be forced to
-terminate. Note that if a timeout is set around a fixture, it includes
-the time for setup and cleanup, and if the timeout is triggered, the
-entire fixture is abruptly terminated (without running the
-cleanup).</dd>
-<dt><code>{inorder, Tests}</code></dt>
-<dd>Runs the specified tests in strict order. Also see <code>{inparallel,
-Tests}</code>. By default, tests are neither marked as <code>inorder</code> or
-<code>inparallel</code>, but may be executed as the test framework chooses.</dd>
-<dt><code>{inparallel, Tests}</code></dt>
-<dd>Runs the specified tests in parallel (if possible). Also see
-<code>{inorder, Tests}</code>.</dd>
-<dt><code>{inparallel, N::integer(), Tests}</code></dt>
-<dd>Like <code>{inparallel, Tests}</code>, but running no more than <code>N</code> subtests
-simultaneously.</dd>
-</dl>
-
-<h4><a name="Fixtures">Fixtures</a></h4>
-
-<p>A "fixture" is some state that is necessary for a particular set of
-tests to run. EUnit's support for fixtures makes it easy to set up such
-state locally for a test set, and automatically tear it down again when
-the test set is finished, regardless of the outcome (success, failures,
-timeouts, etc.).</p>
-
-<p>To make the descriptions simpler, we first list some definitions:
-<center>
-<table border="0" cellspacing="4">
-<tr>
-<td><code>Setup</code></td><td><code>() -&gt; (R::any())</code></td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td><code>SetupX</code></td><td><code>(X::any()) -&gt; (R::any())</code></td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td><code>Cleanup</code></td><td><code>(R::any()) -&gt; any()</code></td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td><code>CleanupX</code></td><td><code>(X::any(), R::any()) -&gt; any()</code></td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td><code>Instantiator</code></td><td><code>((R::any()) -&gt; Tests) | {with, [AbstractTestFun::((any()) -&gt; any())]}</code></td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td><code>Where</code></td><td><code>local | spawn | {spawn, Node::atom()}</code></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-</center>
-(these are explained in more detail further below.)</p>
-
-The following representations specify fixture handling for test sets:
-<dl>
-<dt><code>{setup, Setup, Tests | Instantiator}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{setup, Setup, Cleanup, Tests | Instantiator}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{setup, Where, Setup, Tests | Instantiator}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{setup, Where, Setup, Cleanup, Tests | Instantiator}</code></dt>
-<dd><code>setup</code> sets up a single fixture for running all of the specified
-tests, with optional teardown afterwards. The arguments are described in
-detail below.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{node, Node::atom(), Tests | Instantiator}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{node, Node::atom(), Args::string(), Tests | Instantiator}</code></dt>
-<dd><code>node</code> is like <code>setup</code>, but with a built-in behaviour: it starts a
-slave node for the duration of the tests. The atom <code>Node</code> should have
-the format <code>[email protected]</code>, and <code>Args</code> are the optional
-arguments to the new node; see <code>slave:start_link/3</code> for details.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{foreach, Where, Setup, Cleanup, [Tests | Instantiator]}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{foreach, Setup, Cleanup, [Tests | Instantiator]}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{foreach, Where, Setup, [Tests | Instantiator]}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{foreach, Setup, [Tests | Instantiator]}</code></dt>
-<dd><code>foreach</code> is used to set up a fixture and optionally tear it down
-afterwards, repeated for each single one of the specified test sets.
-</dd>
-<dt><code>{foreachx, Where, SetupX, CleanupX,
- Pairs::[{X::any(), ((X::any(), R::any()) -&gt; Tests)}]}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{foreachx, SetupX, CleanupX, Pairs}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{foreachx, Where, SetupX, Pairs}</code></dt>
-<dt><code>{foreachx, SetupX, Pairs}</code></dt>
-<dd><code>foreachx</code> is like <code>foreach</code>, but uses a list of pairs, each
-containing an extra argument <code>X</code> and an extended instantiator function.
-</dd>
-</dl>
-
-<p>A <code>Setup</code> function is executed just before any of the specified tests
-are run, and a <code>Cleanup</code> function is executed when no more of the
-specified tests will be run, regardless of the reason. A <code>Setup</code>
-function takes no argument, and returns some value which will be passed
-as it is to the <code>Cleanup</code> function. A <code>Cleanup</code> function should do
-whatever necessary and return some arbitrary value, such as the atom
-<code>ok</code>. (<code>SetupX</code> and <code>CleanupX</code> functions are similar, but receive one
-additional argument: some value <code>X</code>, which depends on the context.) When
-no <code>Cleanup</code> function is specified, a dummy function is used which has
-no effect.</p>
-
-<p>An <code>Instantiator</code> function receives the same value as the <code>Cleanup</code>
-function, i.e., the value returned by the <code>Setup</code> function. It should
-then behave much like a generator (see <a href="#Primitives">Primitives</a>), and
-return a test set whose tests have been <em>instantiated</em> with the
-given value. A special case is the syntax <code>{with, [AbstractTestFun]}</code>
-which represents an instantiator function that distributes the value
-over a list of unary functions; see <a href="#Primitives">Primitives</a>: <code>{with, X,
-[...]}</code> for more details.</p>
-
-A <code>Where</code> term controls how the specified tests are executed. The
-default is <code>spawn</code>, which means that the current process handles the
-setup and teardown, while the tests are executed in a subprocess.
-<code>{spawn, Node}</code> is like <code>spawn</code>, but runs the subprocess on the
-specified node. <code>local</code> means that the current process will handle both
-setup/teardown and running the tests - the drawback is that if a test
-times out so that the process is killed, the <em>cleanup will not be
-performed</em>; hence, avoid this for persistent fixtures such as file
-operations. In general, 'local' should only be used when:
-<ul>
- <li>the setup/teardown needs to be executed by the process that will
- run the tests;</li>
- <li>no further teardown needs to be done if the process is killed
- (i.e., no state outside the process was affected by the setup)</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h4><a name="Lazy_generators">Lazy generators</a></h4>
-
-<p>Sometimes, it can be convenient not to produce the whole set of test
-descriptions before the testing begins; for example, if you want to
-generate a huge amount of tests that would take up too much space to
-keep in memory all at once.</p>
-
-<p>It is fairly easy to write a generator which, each time it is called,
-either produces an empty list if it is done, or otherwise produces a
-list containing a single test case plus a new generator which will
-produce the rest of the tests. This demonstrates the basic pattern:</p>
-
-<pre> lazy_test_() -&gt;
- lazy_gen(10000).
-
- lazy_gen(N) -&gt;
- {generator,
- fun () -&gt;
- if N &gt; 0 -&gt;
- [?_test(...)
- | lazy_gen(N-1)];
- true -&gt;
- []
- end
- end}.</pre>
-
-<p>When EUnit traverses the test representation in order to run the tests,
-the new generator will not be called to produce the next test until the
-previous test has been executed.</p>
-
-Note that it is easiest to write this kind of recursive generator using
-a help function, like the <code>lazy_gen/1</code> function above. It can also be
-written using a recursive fun, if you prefer to not clutter your
-function namespace and are comfortable with writing that kind of code.
