System Test

In order for the script to work you will need to install and add to your Path:

  • Python 3.x

  • imagemagick

  • git

  • cmake

  • (Optional) adb if you plan to use Android

You will also need to have built the Vulkan Best Practices in 64 bit, with the CMake flag VKB_BUILD_SAMPLES, VKB_BUILD_TESTS and in addition to this install a working .apk onto a device if you plan on testing on Android.

Before you begin a system test on Android, ensure that the device is held in landscape, and there isn’t an instance of Vulkan Best Practice running already.

  1. From the root of the project: cd tests/system_test

  2. To run: python system_test.py -B <build dir> -C <Debug|Release>

    1. e.g. python system_test.py -Bbuild/windows -CRelease (build path is relative to root)

    2. To target just testing on desktop, add a -D flag, or to target just Android, an -A flag. If no flag is specified it will run for both.

    3. To run a specific sub test(s), use the -S flag (e.g. python system_test.py ... -S sponza bonza runs sponza and bonza)

Android

We currently support FHD resolutions (2280x1080), if testing on another device or resolution the test may fail.

Generate Sample Test

There is a test for the generate_sample script, to ensure that it generates a sample that builds within the project.

To run

cd tests/generate_sample
python generate_sample_test.py

It will print out the result of the test
