visualize ctest dependency and execution profile

Development

Hello,

Is it currently possible to

  1. Visualize the test graph, how many tests were selected for execution and which tests depend on which tests, DAG of tests
  2. To support profiling of ctest runs, get a profile of test excution.

Thanks
Best

I’m not aware of anything providing the features you mentioned. I’d welcome a change that added those capabilities to ctest though. I’d be especially interested in profiling ctest to produce similar output to cmake --profiling-output=blah.json --profiling-format=google-trace. That might be a good starting point as a reference for anyone interested in exploring adding such a capability.

I agree. A feature request would be the place to start.
