+# RocDecode API Negative tests
+
+This test suite is designed to perform negative testing on all rocDecode APIs. The purpose of these tests is to validate the robustness and error-handling mechanisms of the rocDecode APIs 
+by providing invalid inputs, unexpected scenarios, or edge cases to ensure the APIs respond with appropriate error messages or behaviors.
+
+## Prerequisites:
+
+* Install [rocDecode](../../README.md#build-and-install-instructions)
+
+## Build
+
+```shell
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake ../
+make -j
+```
+
+## Run
+
+```shell
+./rocdecodenegativetest
+```
