Comprehensive Testing Guide

Last Updated: 2025-11-17 Test Suite Version: 1.0 Total Tests: 56 tests across 6 suites OBS Version Tested: 32.0.2 (Compatible with 28.x - 32.x+)

Overview

OBS Polyemesis has a comprehensive testing ecosystem with crash detection, memory safety verification, and robust validation of all features. This guide covers the complete testing infrastructure, test execution, and gap remediation work.

OBS Version Compatibility

The plugin is tested and verified against:

  • Primary Target: OBS Studio 32.0.2
  • Minimum Supported: OBS Studio 28.0
  • Maximum Tested: OBS Studio 32.0.2

Platform-Specific Notes:

  • macOS: Tests use OBS 32.0.2 universal binary (Intel + Apple Silicon)
  • Windows: Tests verify against OBS 32.0.2 x64
  • Linux: Built with OBS 30.0.2 libraries (Ubuntu PPA), runtime compatible with OBS 32.0.2

All test scripts automatically verify OBS version before running tests.

Test Suite Summary

Total Coverage: 56 Tests

Test Suite Tests Description
Profile Management 10 Core profile functionality
Failover/Backup 9 Backup and failover logic
Edge Cases 12 Boundary and stress testing
Platform Compatibility 15 Windows/Linux/macOS specific behavior
Integration Tests 5 Live Restreamer API testing
E2E Workflows 5 Complete user workflows

Test Infrastructure

Framework: Custom crash-safe test framework (tests/test_framework.h)

  • Signal handling (SIGSEGV, SIGABRT, SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGBUS)
  • Crash recovery with setjmp/longjmp
  • Color-coded output
  • Test statistics tracking

Sanitizers:

  • AddressSanitizer (ASAN) - Memory error detection
  • UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (UBSan) - Undefined behavior detection
  • Coverage analysis with lcov/genhtml

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Tests fail to find jansson library Solution: Install via package manager or set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

Issue: ASAN reports false positives Solution: Update ASAN suppression list or use -DASAN_OPTIONS=...

Issue: CTest can't find test executables Solution: Check build configuration matches generator type

Issue: Restreamer integration tests fail Solution: Ensure Restreamer is running at localhost:8080

Debug Build

# Enable verbose CTest output
ctest --verbose --output-on-failure

# Enable verbose CMake
cmake -B build --trace-expand

# Run single test with debug output
./tests/Debug/test_profile_management_standalone --verbose

Contributing Tests

When adding new tests:

  1. Use test framework macros:

    BEGIN_TEST_SUITE("Test Suite Name")
RUN_TEST(test_function, "Test description");
END_TEST_SUITE()

  2. Add to CMakeLists.txt:

    add_executable(test_new_feature_standalone test_new_feature.c obs_stubs.c)
# ... configure target ...
add_test(NAME new_feature COMMAND test_new_feature_standalone)

  3. Update test count in TESTING_SUMMARY.md

  4. Add documentation to this guide

Performance Benchmarks

Performance benchmarks are available via:

cmake --build build --target obs-polyemesis-benchmarks
./build/obs-polyemesis-benchmarks

Benchmarks measure:

  • API call overhead
  • Profile operations
  • Multistream setup time
  • Memory allocation patterns

Security Testing

Security workflows validate:

  • No hardcoded credentials
  • Proper input validation
  • Memory safety
  • Thread safety
  • API authentication handling

See Security Scan Notes for details.
