4.5.1 The arte.conf framework configuration

The main ARTE configuration file just needs two configuration parameters:

suites (Mandatory)
The suites parameter indicates which are the suites to be run in the system. Note that the suite name must follow the conventions specified everywhere in this document as the [module] template (for directory and file names). Only those suites compiled and installed with ARTE can be run (those specified when running the ./configure script.
xmloutputdir (Optional)
If specified, the xmloutputdir configuration parameter tells the framework where the output XML and HTML files should be placed, instead of using the default prefix/www path. Note that the given path must exist before calling ARTE, and the user running it must have R/W permissions on it.

An example of arte.conf configuration file is the following:

     
     # arte.conf
     # Configuration file for the ARTE testing framework
     
     # Configuration parameters (mandatory)
     suites = generic, module1, module2
     # Path to the directory where the XMLs are stored (optional)
     xmloutputdir="/srv/www/htdocs/data/tests/"
