Before submitting a patch (or committing to the repository), you should at least
test that you did not break anything.
The regression tests build a synthetic video stream and a synthetic
audio stream. These are then encoded and decoded with all codecs or
formats. The CRC (or MD5) of each generated file is recorded in a
result file. A 'diff' is launched to compare the reference results and
the result file. The output is checked immediately after each test
has run.
The regression tests then go on to test the FFserver code with a
limited set of streams. It is important that this step runs correctly
as well.
Run 'make test' to test all the codecs and formats. Commands like
'make regtest-mpeg2' can be used to run a single test. By default,
make will abort if any test fails. To run all tests regardless,
use make -k. To get a more verbose output, use 'make V=1 test' or
'make V=2 test'.
Running 'make fate' accomplishes this, please see @file{doc/fate.txt} for details.
[Of course, some patches may change the results of the regression tests. In
this case, the reference results of the regression tests shall be modified
