CPlusPlusUnit

CPlusPlusUnit - Tiny single source file C++ Unit testing TDD framework with the output message format like Python unittest.

No installation is required, just copy Cppunit class definition form cppunit.h into your source file and you are all set.

Usage

For single source file programs:

1. Copy Cppunit class definition from cppunit.h into your source file
2. Make sure you have listed all required headers or just #include <bits/stdc++.h> is okay
3. It has to be located before main() function and all unit tests

For larger projects:

1. Copy cppunit.h file into your project area
2. Include it as needed by #include "cppunit.h"

Next steps:

1. Create a new class derived from Cppunit
2. Redefine test_list() or single_test() (if only one test is needed) method of the derived class
3. Write tests by using CHECK* macros and test_cin() to mock user’s stdin input stream
4. Instantiate and Call run() method of the derived class to invoke unit tests

See cppunit_test.cc for a simple working example

CHECK* macros

These macros will provide file, line and test name information in case of checking mismatches:

1. Integral type match check CHECK(2 + 3, 4)
2. Boolean type check CHECKT(2 + 2 == 4)
3. String type match check CHECKS("a" "b", "ac")

Stdin input override

Cppunit will override user’s stdin input stream. Use test_cin() method to provide user’s mock input stream.

test_cin("4 1\n-3 -3 -3 -3");

This feature is very useful to test programs written for online judges like: codeforces.com, topcoder.com, spoj etc.

All tests passed

In case of passed tests it prints the number of checks passed and the elapsed time

Failed tests

Prints error message for each failed check
