Using the Test Suite involves using Tool Command Language (Tcl) version 8.4 or later. Running the standard version of the Test Suite executes tests the major functionality of Berkeley DB. A more exhaustive version of the Test Suite runs all the tests several more times, testing encryption, replication, and different page sizes. </p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="navfooter"> <hr /> <table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="buildtarget.html">Prev</a> </td> <td width="20%" align="center"> <a accesskey="u" href="index.html">Up</a> </td> <td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="modifytest.html">Next</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"> Building on the Target Platform </td> <td width="20%" align="center"> <a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a> </td> <td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Modifying the Tests</td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
