These tests were automatically generated by the API-Sanity-Autotest
<http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/API_Sanity_Autotest>. You
can download it here
<http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/API_Sanity_Autotest_Downloads>.
Command for generating, building and running the test suite for your
library is:
./api-sanity-autotest.pl -l libssh -d <descriptor> -gen -build -run
<descriptor> - is a simple file with an XML-like structure that
specifies version number, paths to header files and shared objects and
optionally some other information (more info about descriptors and
example for libssh please see on this page
<http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/Library_Descriptor>).

Also, generated tests can be changed/improved by creating specialized
types <http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/Specialized_Type>
for the library.
