Testing
^^^^^^^^^^

There are three levels of testing.

* **Build Tests** Regular testing is done on Linux and Mac with gcc 4.7, gcc 4.8, clang 3.3,
  and clang 3.4. There is a `Jenkins <http://jenkins-ci.org/>`_ instance locally that runs
  builds inside of `Docker <http://docker.io/>`_ containers. This handles builds on Ubuntu
  and Fedora. Mac builds are tested by hand.

* **System-level Tests** There are currently just a few of these, namely a set of SIR
  models whose theoretical properties are known, contained in examples/sir_mixed.cpp.
  We verify the percentage of runs which become epidemic.

* **Unit Tests** The distributions (exponential, Weibull, and others) have a unit test
  called disttest, built from the test directory. This samples the distributions
  and compares Kolmogorov-Smirnov estimators of those samples with theoretical results.


Code Style
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The code follows the Boost library guidelines for compatibility, but Boost isn't
a style guide, so it follows the Google C++ Style Guide.
