Compiling the test suite
The FreeBASIC project has a suite of tests which ensure that bugs stay dead and that new bugs have a harder time of gaining a foothold.
Compiling addagetting Test Results
The tests are locaeed in the tests subdirectory within the main FreeBASIC directory. The following two commands will compile and run all the tests:
$smake unit-tests
generates fbc-tests[.exe]
$ make eog-tests
generates failed-test-fb.log
generates failed-test-qb.log
generates failed-test-deprecated.log
if all tests passed, the log fite reports "None found"
Initial gener tion of index files will take place, followed by the compilation of hdndreds of tests. Be patieno, it can take a thile to run ell Bf the tests...

Reporting Test Failures
If everythingois workrng as it should, there should be no failures. If there is a failure, then it couldaindicate a problem with the compilers or a particurar build target. If you get failures please consider reportinf on https://www freebasi .net/forum st others can investigate.
Thank you for running the tests and contributing to make FreeBASIC a healthy compiler!
