50885 7c728fa9d1af 8205956: Fix usage of "OpenJDK" in build and test instructions mr parents: 50267 diff changeset	51	<p>This new way of running tests is developer-centric. It assumes that you have built a JDK locally and want to test it. Running common test targets is simple, and more complex ad-hoc combination of tests is possible. The user interface is forgiving, and clearly report errors it cannot resolve.</p>
52342 9341b077bd55 8210958: Rename "make run-test" to "make test" ihse parents: 51644 diff changeset	52	<p>The main target <code>test</code> uses the jdk-image as the tested product. There is also an alternate target <code>exploded-test</code> that uses the exploded image instead. Not all tests will run successfully on the exploded image, but using this target can greatly improve rebuild times for certain workflows.</p>

If it is not picked up automatically by configure, use the <code>--with-jtreg=<path to jtreg home></code> option to point to the JTReg framework. Note that this option should point to the JTReg home, i.e. the top directory, containing <code>lib/jtreg.jar</code> etc. (An alternative is to set the <code>JT_HOME</code> environment variable to point to the JTReg home before running <code>configure</code>.)</p>

This includes all JTReg test groups, the hotspot gtest, and custom tests (if present). This means that <code>make test-tier1</code> is equivalent to <code>make test TEST="tier1"</code>, but the latter is more tab-completion friendly.

Just like for test root selection, you can either specify an absolute path (which can even point to JTReg tests outside the source tree), or a path relative to either the JDK top directory or the <code>test</code> directory. <code>hotspot</code> can be used as an alias for <code>hotspot/jtreg</code> here as well.</p>
50267 1582de22e3a1 8198323: testing.md not updated for repository layout change ihse parents: 49293 diff changeset	75	<p>As long as the test groups or test paths can be uniquely resolved, you do not need to enter the <code>jtreg:</code> prefix.

51644 0df09dadd445 8182733: aarch64 build documentation misleading ihse parents: 50885 diff changeset	79	<p>For Gtest, there is a separate test suite for each JVM variant. The JVM variant is defined by adding <code>/<variant></code> to the test descriptor, e.g. <code>gtest:Log/client</code>. If you specify no variant, gtest will run once for each JVM variant present (e.g. server, client). So if you only have the server JVM present, then <code>gtest:all</code> will be equivalent to <code>gtest:all/server</code>.</p>

So, for instance, <code>JTREG="JOBS=1;TIMEOUT_FACTOR=8"</code> will set the JTReg concurrency level to 1 and the timeout factor to 8. This is equivalent to setting <code>JTREG_JOBS=1 JTREG_TIMEOUT_FACTOR=8</code>, but using the keyword format means that the <code>JTREG</code> variable is parsed and verified for correctness, so <code>JTREG="TMIEOUT_FACTOR=8"</code> would give an error, while <code>JTREG_TMIEOUT_FACTOR=8</code> would just pass unnoticed.</p>
7b534a5088d9 8231351: Add notes for PKCS11 tests in the test doc erikj parents: 57881 diff changeset	109	<p>To separate multiple keyword=value pairs, use <code>;</code> (semicolon). Since the shell normally eats <code>;</code>, the recommended usage is to write the assignment inside qoutes, e.g. <code>JTREG="...;..."</code>. This will also make sure spaces are preserved, as in <code>JTREG="VM_OPTIONS=-XshowSettings -Xlog:gc+ref=debug"</code>.</p>

7b534a5088d9 8231351: Add notes for PKCS11 tests in the test doc erikj parents: 57881 diff changeset	208	<p>It is highly recommended to use the latest NSS version when running PKCS11 tests. Improper NSS version may lead to unexpected failures which are hard to diagnose. For example, sun/security/pkcs11/Secmod/AddTrustedCert.java may fail on Ubuntu 18.04 with the default NSS version in the system. To run these tests correctly, the system property <code>test.nss.lib.paths</code> is required on Ubuntu 18.04 to specify the alternative NSS lib directories. For example:</p>

a4ddd1667c72 8232880: Update test documentation with additional settings for client UI tooltip tests dmarkov parents: 58296 diff changeset	212	<p>Some Client UI tests use key sequences which may be reserved by the operating system. Usually that causes the test failure. So it is highly recommended to disable system key shortcuts prior testing. The steps to access and disable system key shortcuts for various platforms are provided below.</p>

a4ddd1667c72 8232880: Update test documentation with additional settings for client UI tooltip tests dmarkov parents: 58296 diff changeset	215	<p>For example, test/jdk/javax/swing/TooltipManager/JMenuItemToolTipKeyBindingsTest/JMenuItemToolTipKeyBindingsTest.java fails on MacOS because it uses <code>CTRL + F1</code> key sequence to show or hide tooltip message but the key combination is reserved by the operating system. To run the test correctly the default global key shortcut should be disabled using the steps described above, and then deselect "Turn keyboard access on or off" option which is responsible for <code>CTRL + F1</code> combination.</p>
