### How to add a new test case
**1. TSIM test cases:**
TSIM was the testing framework has been used internally. Now it still be used to run the test cases we develop in the past as a legacy system. We are turning to use Python to develop new test case and are abandoning TSIM gradually.
**2. Python test cases:**
**2.1 Please refer to \<TDengine\>/tests/pytest/insert/basic.py to add a new
test case.** The new test case must implement 3 functions, where self.init()
and self.stop() simply copy the contents of insert/basic.py and the test
logic is implemented in self.run(). You can refer to the code in the util
directory for more information.
**2.2 Edit smoketest.sh to add the path and filename of the new test case**
Note: The Python test framework may continue to be improved in the future,
hopefully, to provide more functionality and ease of writing test cases. The
method of writing the test case above does not exclude that it will also be
affected.
**2.3 What test.py does in detail:**
test.py is the entry program for test case execution and monitoring.
test.py has the following functions.
\-f --file, Specifies the test case file name to be executed
-p --path, Specifies deployment path
\-m --master, Specifies the master server IP for cluster deployment
-c--cluster, test cluster function
-s--stop, terminates all running nodes
\-g--valgrind, load valgrind for memory leak detection test
\-h--help, display help
**2.4 What util/log.py does in detail:**
log.py is quite simple, the main thing is that you can print the output in
different colors as needed. The success() should be called for successful
test case execution and the success() will print green text. The exit() will
print red text and exit the program, exit() should be called for test
