GPAC comes with a testsuite hosted here and present as a submodule of GPAC main repository.

The GPAC test suite is made of functional tests of MP4Box and gpac applications, and are a great source of examples for possible usage of GPAC.

If you did not clone GPAC using git -recursive option, you need to update the submodule:

git submodule update --init

It is suggested to sync external media not hosted on github:

cd testsuite
./make_tests.sh -sync-media -clean

You can then run the full test suite:

./make_tests.sh

or only a subset of the test suite for faster tests:

./make_tests.sh -quick

If you wish to run a particular test (e.g. hls generation) and check the output files:

./make_tests.sh -tmp scripts/hls-gen.sh

For more information on the test suite, check testsuite/README.md.
