[users@httpd] (unit/system) tests for apache web server?

[Celal Ziftci <ce...@gmail.com>]

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,
- Celal Ziftci

There is a generic test framework, but also a large number of
testcases for httpd and bundled modules.
