[gdal-dev] Testing the driver

[Abel Pau]

Hi,
I am at the lasts steps before pulling a request about the MiraMon driver.
I need to write some documentation and formalize the tests.
After that, I'll do the pull request to github.

I am a little confused about the testing. I can use pytest or ctest, right? Which is the favourite? Are there any changes from the official documentation?
There is a minimal test to create?
Can you recommend me some driver that tests things like:

*         Read a point/arc/polygon layer from some format (gml,kml, gpckg,..) and assert the number of readed objectes

*         Read a point layer and assert some points (3d included) and some of the fields values

*         The same with arcs and polygons

*         Create some layer from the own format to anothers and compare the results with some "good" results.

*         Create multiple layers from one outer format (like gpx) and verify the name of the created files...

Thanks for any comment to testing.
