(unit/system) tests for apache web server?

[Celal Ziftci <celal.ziftci.oss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I am a PhD student doing research on program analysis, specifically for tests (unit/system).

I would like to try my research framework on apache web server, and I was looking for unit-tests or system tests that test different functionality in the web server.

I took a look at the source code, and saw the tests folder, but there were relatively fewer test cases there.

I also saw a test subproject, but this confused me a little bit, because that seemed to be a test framework to test a web application hosted by apache web server.

In the FAQ, it is mentioned that httpd is tested thoroughly, so, I assumed there would be a lot of tests and possibly I'm not finding them. So I decided to ask some experienced users.

In summary, my questions is: are there any tests (unit/system) that I can run, say for instance, while building the apache web server? (similar to junit tests conceptually in Java)

If so, where would I find them? And is there documentation about it?

And if someone knows and can tell me upfront how many tests do exist, that would be bonus information for me :) I'm just trying to see how much effort I would need to spend to do this research trial.

Thanks everyone.

Best,
