3.10. Can I verify the correctness of test descriptions without actually running the tests?

Yes! The -check option to jtreg will find test descriptions and will determine whether they are written according to the tag specification. Tests will not be executed.

The following sample output illustrates use of this option.

                        ribbit$ jtreg -verbose:summary -check Pass.java Fail.java Error.java
                        Passed: Pass.java
                        Passed: Fail.java
                        Error:  Error.java
                        test results: passed: 2; error: 1
