# Structure # Tests
The Unit-Tests do not follow exactly the file structure of Powerlevel9k itself. ## Automated Tests
## Basic Tests The Unit-Tests do not follow exactly the file structure of Powerlevel9k itself,
but we try to reflect the structure as much as possible. All tests are located
under `test/`. Segment specific tests under `test/segments/` (one file per
segment).
Basic Tests belong in `test/powerlevel9k.spec` if they test basic functionality of ### Installation
Powerlevel9k itself. Basic functions from the `functions` directory have their
Tests in separate files under `test/functions`.
## Segment Tests In order to execute the tests you need to install `shunit2`, which is a
submodule. To install the submodule, you can execute
`git submodule init && git submodule update`.
These Tests tend to be more complex in setup than the basic tests. To avoid ending ### Executing tests
up in a huge single file, there is one file per segment in `test/segments`.
# Manual Testing The tests are shell scripts on their own. So you can execute them right away.
To execute all tests you could just execute `./test/suite.spec`.
### General Test Structure
The tests usually have a `setUp()` function which is executed before every
test function. Speaking of, test functions must be prefixed with `test`. In
the tests, you can do [different Assertions](https://github.com/kward/shunit2#-asserts).
It is always a good idea to mock the program you want to test (just have a
look at other tests), so that the testrunner does not have to have all
programs installed.
### Travis
We use [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/) for Continuous Integration. This
service executes our tests after every push. For now, we need to tell travis
where to find the tests, which is what happens in the `.travis.yml` file.
