The test data can be automatically retrieved by the run_tests.sh script included
with all source or binary distributions of StringTie, or downloaded separately from this url:
https://github.com/gpertea/stringtie/raw/test_data/test_data.tar.gz
The run_tests.sh script will then run StringTie on these data sets and compare the output with the
precomputed, expected output for each case. If the output of each test matches the
expected output, the test is considered successful (and "OK." will be shown on the next line),
otherwise an error will be reported.
The command lines shown below assume that the stringtie program is installed somewhere
in the shell's PATH. If that is not the case, the stringtie comand below should be prepended
with the directory path to the stringtie executable
stringtie -o short_reads.out.gtf short_reads.bam
stringtie -o short_reads_and_superreads.out.gtf short_reads_and_superreads.bam
stringtie -L -o long_reads.out.gtf long_reads.bam
stringtie -L -G human-chr19_P.gff -o long_reads_guided.out.gtf long_reads.bam
