# casacore\_assay(1)

invoke an AIPS++ test program and verify its output

## NAME

casacore\_assay - invoke an AIPS++ test program and verify its output

## SYNOPSIS

**casacore\_assay** *testexe*

## DESCRIPTION

**casacore\_assay** invokes a casacore test program. If the test program has an associated .run file then it simply invokes it.  Otherwise **casacore\_assay** invokes the test executable directly, and, if there is a corresponding .out file, compares its output with that.

If there is a .in file associated with the test program then assay will redirect stdin from it.

### Exit status:

- 0

  success

- 1

  test execution failed

- 2

  test output disagreement

- 3

  untested (usually returned from a .run)

- 130

  interrupt

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
