Testing Shell Scripts

Test Summary

Choose an Exit Plan

A test script usually summarizes passed and failed checks before deciding whether the run should be green or red.

Program

Play the script to choose a failure count and see the resulting status summary.

test_summary.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env bash

failed=
passed=3
total=$((passed + failed))
if [[ "$failed" -eq 0 ]]; then
    status="green"
else
    status="red"
fi
echo "tests=$total failed=$failed status=$status"

#!/usr/bin/env bash

failed=
passed=3
total=$((passed + failed))
if [[ "$failed" -eq 0 ]]; then
    status="green"
else
    status="red"
fi
echo "tests=$total failed=$failed status=$status"

#!/usr/bin/env bash

failed=
passed=3
total=$((passed + failed))
if [[ "$failed" -eq 0 ]]; then
    status="green"
else
    status="red"
fi
echo "tests=$total failed=$failed status=$status"
summary A summary line gives humans and automation one compact result.
exit plan This example models the status decision without exiting the browser replay.
green/red result Zero failures produce green; any failure keeps the run red.
