+
+Run tests in the project build tree and store results in
+``Test.xml`` for submission with the :command:`ctest_submit` command.
+
+The options are:
+
+``BUILD <build-dir>``
+ Specify the top-level build directory. If not given, the
+ :variable:`CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY` variable is used.
+
+``APPEND``
+ Mark ``Test.xml`` for append to results previously submitted to a
+ dashboard server since the last :command:`ctest_start` call.
+ Append semantics are defined by the dashboard server in use.
+ This does *not* cause results to be appended to a ``.xml`` file
+ produced by a previous call to this command.
+
+``START <start-number>``
+ Specify the beginning of a range of test numbers.
+
+``END <end-number>``
+ Specify the end of a range of test numbers.
+
+``STRIDE <stride-number>``
+ Specify the stride by which to step across a range of test numbers.
+
+``EXCLUDE <exclude-regex>``
+ Specify a regular expression matching test names to exclude.
+
+``INCLUDE <include-regex>``
+ Specify a regular expression matching test names to include.
+ Tests not matching this expression are excluded.
+
+``EXCLUDE_LABEL <label-exclude-regex>``
+ Specify a regular expression matching test labels to exclude.
+
+``INCLUDE_LABEL <label-include-regex>``
+ Specify a regular expression matching test labels to include.
+ Tests not matching this expression are excluded.
+
+``EXCLUDE_FIXTURE <regex>``
+ If a test in the set of tests to be executed requires a particular fixture,
+ that fixture's setup and cleanup tests would normally be added to the test
+ set automatically. This option prevents adding setup or cleanup tests for
+ fixtures matching the ``<regex>``. Note that all other fixture behavior is
+ retained, including test dependencies and skipping tests that have fixture
+ setup tests that fail.
+
+``EXCLUDE_FIXTURE_SETUP <regex>``
+ Same as ``EXCLUDE_FIXTURE`` except only matching setup tests are excluded.
+
+``EXCLUDE_FIXTURE_CLEANUP <regex>``
+ Same as ``EXCLUDE_FIXTURE`` except only matching cleanup tests are excluded.
+
+``PARALLEL_LEVEL <level>``
+ Specify a positive number representing the number of tests to
+ be run in parallel.
+
+``RESOURCE_SPEC_FILE <file>``
+ Specify a
+ :ref:`resource specification file <ctest-resource-specification-file>`. See
+ :ref:`ctest-resource-allocation` for more information.
+
+``TEST_LOAD <threshold>``
+ While running tests in parallel, try not to start tests when they
+ may cause the CPU load to pass above a given threshold. If not
+ specified the :variable:`CTEST_TEST_LOAD` variable will be checked,
+ and then the ``--test-load`` command-line argument to :manual:`ctest(1)`.
+ See also the ``TestLoad`` setting in the :ref:`CTest Test Step`.
+
+``REPEAT <mode>:<n>``
+ Run tests repeatedly based on the given ``<mode>`` up to ``<n>`` times.
+ The modes are:
+
+ ``UNTIL_FAIL``
+ Require each test to run ``<n>`` times without failing in order to pass.
+ This is useful in finding sporadic failures in test cases.
+
+ ``UNTIL_PASS``
+ Allow each test to run up to ``<n>`` times in order to pass.
+ Repeats tests if they fail for any reason.
+ This is useful in tolerating sporadic failures in test cases.
+
+ ``AFTER_TIMEOUT``
+ Allow each test to run up to ``<n>`` times in order to pass.
+ Repeats tests only if they timeout.
+ This is useful in tolerating sporadic timeouts in test cases
+ on busy machines.
+
+``SCHEDULE_RANDOM <ON|OFF>``
+ Launch tests in a random order. This may be useful for detecting
+ implicit test dependencies.
+
+``STOP_ON_FAILURE``
+ Stop the execution of the tests once one has failed.
+
+``STOP_TIME <time-of-day>``
+ Specify a time of day at which the tests should all stop running.
+
+``RETURN_VALUE <result-var>``
+ Store in the ``<result-var>`` variable ``0`` if all tests passed.
+ Store non-zero if anything went wrong.
+
+``CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>``
+ Store in the ``<result-var>`` variable -1 if there are any errors running
+ the command and prevent ctest from returning non-zero if an error occurs.
+
+``QUIET``
+ Suppress any CTest-specific non-error messages that would have otherwise
+ been printed to the console. Output from the underlying test command is not
+ affected. Summary info detailing the percentage of passing tests is also
+ unaffected by the ``QUIET`` option.
+
+See also the :variable:`CTEST_CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_PASSED_TEST_OUTPUT_SIZE`
+and :variable:`CTEST_CUSTOM_MAXIMUM_FAILED_TEST_OUTPUT_SIZE` variables.
