Introduction

ISSM relies on regression tests to check that no bug is introduced during code development. All the tests are located in $ISSM_DIR/test/test/NightlyRun and all the tests whose number are less than 1000 are run after each change pushed to the svn repository (through jenkins: ​https://ross.ics.uci.edu/jenkins/) and 4 times a day (through cron jobs). See here for more information on nightly runs.

Identifying a problem

The home page of jenkins should look like this:

The yellow balls indicate that some tests failed. You should click on Linux_Ubuntu to see which test failed. This brings you to the following page that shows the number of tests that failed:

You can click on "Latest test results" to get the list of tests that failed:

You can then click on the test, and see what failed. It could be that the tolerance is just a bit tight, which would be a false positive, but not always.

If the code failed to compile, click on "Console Output" and you should be able to see the error message and correct it.
