TL;DR

autopkgtest

Run tests on Debian packages. More information: https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/autopkgtest.

  • Build the package in the current directory and run all tests directly on the system:

autopkgtest -- null

  • Run a specific test for the package in the current directory:

autopkgtest --test-name=test_name -- null

  • Download and build a specific package with apt-get, then run all tests:

autopkgtest package -- null

  • Test the package in the current directory using a new root directory:

autopkgtest -- chroot path/to/new/root

  • Test the package in the current directory without rebuilding it:

autopkgtest --no-built-binaries -- null
