The mysql-test-run.pl Perl script is the main application used to run the MySQL test suite. It invokes mysqltest to run individual test cases. (Prior to MySQL 4.1, a similar shell script, mysql-test-run, can be used instead.)

mysqltest runs test cases. A version named mysqltest_embedded is similar but is built with support for the libmysqld embedded server.
