+# Ethereal/Tethereal Regression Testing

+#
+# This is a sample Makefile for regression testing of the
+# Ethereal engine. These tests use that uses 'tethereal -V' to analyze all
+# the frames of a capture file.
+#
+# You should probably rename this file as 'Makefile' in a separate directory
+# set aside for the sole purpose of regression testing. Two text files will
+# be created for each capture file you test, so expect to have lots of files.
+#
+# Set TETHEREAL, CAPTURE_DIR, and CAPTURE_FILES to values appropriate for
+# your system. Run 'make' to create the initial datasets. Type 'make accept'
+# to accept those files as the reference set.
+#
+# After you make changes to Tethereal, run 'make regress'. This will re-run
+# the tests and compare them against the accepted reference set of data.
+# The comparison, which is just an invocation of 'diff -u' for the output
+# of each trace file, will be put into a file called 'regress'. Examine
+# this file for any changes that you did or did not expect.
+#
+# If you have introduced a change to Tethereal that shows up in the tests, but
+# it is a valid change, run 'make accept' to accept those new data as your
+# reference set.
+#
+# Commands:
+#
+# 'make' Creates tests
+# 'make regress' Checks tests against accepted reference test results
+# Report is put in file 'regress'
+# 'make accept' Accept current tests; make them the reference test results
+# 'make clean' Cleans any tests (but not references!)
