Testing our grammatical tools

This document contains an overview of the testing suits we have for our different analysers.

Exchange xxx with the language code in question. $TARGET is the directory of the language, e.g. gt/sme, for sme.

Testing morphological tools

Morphophonology

cd $TARGET/testing && make pair-test

Selftest

Does the analyser recognise all entries in the lexicon?

cd gt/
make selftest

(Here we might have a look at the Book.)

Testing proofing tools

When testing proofing tools, it is possible to choose between different engines, such as the Polderland command-line speller (default speller engine), the command-line interface to hunspell, etc. The available engines are listed below under each proofing tool section.

Speller testing

gt$ make spelltest TARGET=xxx [TESTTOOL=yy] [DATE=ddmmyyyy]

Available speller engines:

• hu - hunspell
• pl - Polderland command line (default)
• mw - Microsoft Word through AppleScript

Regression test

Baseform test

Typos test

Correct-corpus test

Hyphenator testing

gt$ make hyphtest TARGET=xxx

Hyphenator regression testing

To only test regressions, do:

```gt$ make hyphregression TARGET=xxx [TESTTOOL=yy]

```

Testing syntactic analysis

To run all syntactic tests:

gt$ make cgtests TARGET=xxx

Note that this test cannot be run on victorio (unless you modify the gt Makefile).

Disambiguator test
