Testing

• Test data: we are marking up gold-standard documents with a relatively simple, plain-text error markup. There are separate documents for each of the languages we have gold-standard documents for:
  • ISL - Icelandic
  • KAL - Greenlandic
  • SMA - South Sámi
  • SME - North Sámi
  • SMJ - Julev Sámi
• The test data is converted to xml and is stored in $GTFREE/stable/goldstandard/converted/ when proofread and checked, before that in $GTFREE/prestable/goldstandard/converted/
• You run a speller test using the following command:
  • new infra: cd $GTBIG/prooftesting && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make - to run all tests for all languages, cd into one of the language subdirs and ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make to run the tests for just one language. After ./configure, you can even cd into one of the speller tool dirs, and run make there, to run the tests for one speller only.
  • old infra: cd $GTHOME/gt && make GTLANG=sma TESTTOOL=pl correct-test
• We also have a plan for creating Unit Tests for the PLX conversion used to build our MS Office tools
