Automated Testing Framework 0.5 (Default branch)
ATF is a collection of libraries and utilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of developers and end users of a specific piece of software. Tests can currently be written in C/C++ or POSIX shell and, contrary to other testing frameworks, ATF tests are installed into the system alongside any other application files. This allows the end user to easily verify that the software behaves correctly on her system. Furthermore, the results of the test suites can be collected into nicely-formatted reports to simplify their visualization and analysis. License: BSD License (revised) Changes:
The code has been relicensed under a 2-clause BSD license. A new C-only binding (atf-c) has been added so that developers do not need to use C++ at all to write test cases. The C++ binding has been renamed to atf-c++, and the POSIX shell binding to atf-sh for consistency. Test programs now support a -w flag to indicate the work directory they have to use. Test programs now preserve the order of test cases when stated by the user on the command line.Image

MAC_TEST(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					       MAC_TEST(4)

NAME

     mac_test -- MAC framework testing policy

SYNOPSIS

     To compile the testing policy into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   options MAC
	   options MAC_TEST

     Alternately, to load the testing module at boot time, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   options MAC

     and in loader.conf(5):

	   mac_test_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The mac_test policy module implements a testing facility for the MAC framework.  Among other things, mac_test will try to catch corrupt
     labels the system is attempting to destroy and drop to the debugger.  Additionally, a set of statistics regarding the number of times various
     MAC framework entry points have been called is stored in the security.mac.test sysctl(8) tree.

   Label Format
     No labels are defined for mac_test.

     mac_seeotheruids(4), mac(9)

HISTORY

     The mac_test policy module first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0 and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.

AUTHORS

     This software was contributed to the FreeBSD Project by Network Associates Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates Inc.
     under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (``CBOSS''), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.

BUGS

     See mac(9) concerning appropriateness for production use.	The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in FreeBSD.

     While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by
     entry point checks.  As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged user.
