CDash is a web service used to aggregate the test results reported by CTest during a test run or nightly testing, or in a continuous integration setting. Reporting to the dashboard is what we refer to as CDash time, as illustrated by the following diagram:
In this chapter, we will demonstrate recipes to report test results to a CDash dashboard. We will discuss strategies for reporting test coverage, as well as memory defects and data races collected with tools such as the AddressSanitizer and the ThreadSanitizer, respectively.
There are two ways to report to CDash: either through the test target of a build or by using a CTest script. We will demonstrate the test target route in the first two recipes and will use the CTest script route in the last two recipes.
