CCUnit CookbookHere is a short cookbook to help you get started.Simple Test CaseTests in CCUnit can be run automatically. They are easy to set up and once you have written them, they are always there to help you keep confidence in the quality of your code.To make a simple test, here is what you do:
For example, to test that the sum of two complex number which is the sum of the values of two complex numbers, write:
void test_complex_add () { complex_t c10_1 = { 10.0, 1.0 }; complex_t c1_1 = { 1.0, 1.0 }; complex_t result; complex_t c11_2 = { 11.0, 2.0 }; CCUNIT_ASSERT (complex_equals (&c11_2, complex_add (&result, c10_1, c1_1))); } That was a very simple test. Ordinarily, you'll have many little test cases that you'll want to run on the same set of objects. To do this, use a fixture. FixtureWhat if you have two or more tests that operate on the same similar set of objects?Tests need to run against the background of a known set of objects. This set of objects is called a test fixture. When you are writing tests you will often find that you spend more time writing the code to set up the fixture than you do in actually testing values. Often, you will be able to use the same fixture for sevral different tests. Each case will send slightly different messages or parameteres to the fixture and will check for different results. When you have a common fixture, here is what you do:
For example, to write several test cases, first create a fixture:
/** TEST CASE: complex number test */ #include "complex.h" static complex_t* s10_1; static complex_t* s1_1; static complex_t* s11_2; void setUp_ComplexTest () { s10_1 = complex_new (10, 1); s1_1 = complex_new (1, 1); s11_2 = complex_new (11, 2); } void tearDown_ComplexTest () { complex_delete (s10_1); complex_delete (s1_1); complex_delete (s11_2); } ... CCUnitTestFixture* fixture; fixture = ccunit_newTestFixture ("ComplexTest", CCUNIT_NEWTESTFUNC(setUp_ComplexTest), CCUNIT_NEWTESTFUNC(tearDown_ComplexTest)); Once you have the Fixture in place, you can write as complex Test Cases as you'd like. Test CaseHow do you write and invoke an individual test case when you have a Fixture?For example, to test the equality of two complex number, write:
void test_complex_equals () { CCUNIT_ASSERT_TEST_OBJ (s10_1, complex_equals, s10_1, complex_to_string); CCUNIT_ASSERT_TEST_OBJ (s10_1, !complex_equals, s1_1, complex_to_string); } ... ccunit_addNewTestCase (fixture, "test_complex_equals", "complex equals test", test_complex_equals); ccunit_addNewTestCase (fixture, "test_complex_add", "complex add test", test_complex_add); One may create and run objects for each test case like this:
CCUnitTestResult* result; result = ccunit_runTestFixture (fixture); When the test fixture is run, that specific test functions will be run. This is not a useful thing to do, however, as no diagnostics will be displayed. One will normally use a TestRunner (see below) to display the results. Once you have several tests, organize them into a suite. SuiteHow do you set up your tests so that you can run them all at once?CCUnit provides a TestSuite module that runs any number of TestCases together. You saw, above, how to run test fixture. To create a suite of two or more tests, you do the following:
CCUnitTestSuite* suite; CCUnitTestFixture* fixture; CCUnitTestResult* result; suite = ccunit_newTestSuite ("Complex test suite"); fixture = ccunit_newTestFixture ("Complex Tests", CCUNIT_NEWTESTFUNC(setUp_complex_test), CCUNIT_NEWTESTFUNC(tearDown_complex_test)); ccunit_addNewTestCase (fixture, "test_complex_equals", "complex equals test", test_complex_equals); ccunit_addNewTestCase (fixture, "test_complex_add", "complex add test", test_complex_add); ccunit_addNewTestCase (fixture, "test_complex_sub", "complex sub test", test_complex_sub); ccunit_addTestFixture (suite, fixtuer); result = ccunit_runTestSuite (suite, NULL); TestSuites don't only have to contain TestFixtures . They can contain any object that implements the Test interface. For example, you can create a TestSuite in your code and I can create one in mine, and we can run them together by creating a TestSuite that contains both:
CCUnitTestSuite* suite; CCUnitTestResult* result; suite = ccunit_newTestSuite ("suite"); ccunit_addTestSuite (suite, complex_add_sub_suite ()); ccunit_addTestSuite (suite, complex_mul_div_suite ()); result = ccunit_runTestSuite(suite, NULL); TestRunnerHow do you run your tests and collect their results?Once you have a test suite, you'll want to run it. CCUnit provides tools to define the suite to be run and to display its results. You make your suite accessible to a ccunit_makeSuite tool that generate a creating test suite code. For example, to make a ComplexTest suite available to a ccunit_makeSuite , excute the following tool to ComplexTest.c:
$ ccunit_makeSuite -f complex_suite -o suiteComplex.c ComplexTest.c To use the TestRunner, include the header files for the tests in Main.c:
#include <ccunit/CCUnitTestRunner.h> #include <ccunit/CCUnitTestSuite.h>
And call to ccunit_runTestRunner (CCUnitTestRunner*, CCUnitTestSuite *) in the
extern CCUnitTestSuite* complex_suite(const char* name); int main( int argc, char **argv) { CCUnitTestRunner* runner; CCUnitTestSuite* suite; runner = ccunit_newTestRunner (stdout); suite = complex_suite ("complex test suite"); return ccunit_runTestRunner (runner, suite); } The TestRunner will run the tests. If all the tests pass, you'll get an informative message. If any fail, you'll get the following information:
Helper ToolAs you might have noticed, implementing the fixturesuite () function is a repetitive and error prone task. A Creating TestSuite set of functions and command have been created to automatically implements the suite() method.The following code is a rewrite of ComplexTest using those command:
#include <cppunit/CCUnitAssert.h>
First, you declare the fixture, passing the test fixture name to the javaDoc style comment, which consist of a C-style comment block starting with two
/** test case: complex number test */
The suite created by the
#include <complex.h> static complex_t* s10_1; static complex_t* s1_1; static complex_t* s11_2; void setUp_complex_test () { s10_1 = complex_new (10, 1); s1_1 = complex_new (1, 1); s11_2 = complex_new (11, 2); } void tearDown_complex_test () { complex_delete (s10_1); complex_delete (s1_1); complex_delete (s11_2); } /** test equals */ void test_complex_equals () { CCUNIT_ASSERT_TEST_OBJ (s10_1, complex_equals, s10_1, complex_to_string); CCUNIT_ASSERT_TEST_OBJ (s10_1, !complex_equals, s1_1, complex_to_string); } /** test add */ void test_complex_add () { complex_t c10_1 = { 10.0, 1.0 }; complex_t c1_1 = { 1.0, 1.0 }; complex_t result; complex_t c11_2 = { 11.0, 2.0 }; CCUNIT_ASSERT (complex_equals (&c11_2, complex_add (&result, &c10_1, &c1_1))); } /** test sub */ void test_complex_sub () { complex_t c9_0 = { 9, 0 }; complex_t result; CCUNIT_ASSERT_TEST_OBJ (&c9_0, complex_equals, complex_sub (&result, s10_1, s1_1), complex_to_string); } Finally, you end the fixture declaration:
/** end test case */
To generate creating suite function code, run
$ ccunit_makeSuite testComplex.c #include <ccunit/CCUnitTestSuite.h> #include <ccunit/CCUnitTestFixture.h> #include <ccunit/CCUnitTestCase.h> /* test fixture: complex number test */ /* setUp_complex_test */ extern void setUp_complex_test (); /* tearDown_complex_test */ extern void tearDown_complex_test (); /* test_complex_equals */ extern void test_complex_equals (); /* test_complex_add */ extern void test_complex_add (); /* test_complex_sub */ extern void test_complex_sub (); static CCUnitTestFixtureDfn fx_001 = { { ccunitTypeFixture }, "complex number test", { "setUp_complex_test", "setUp_complex_test", setUp_complex_test }, { "tearDown_complex_test", "tearDown_complex_test", tearDown_complex_test }, { { "test_complex_equals", "test equals", test_complex_equals }, { "test_complex_add", "test add", test_complex_add }, { "test_complex_sub", "test sub", test_complex_sub }, { NULL, NULL, NULL }, } }; static CCUnitTestSuiteDfn suite_001 = { { ccunitTypeSuite }, "", { &suite_002.test, NULL, }, }; CCUnitTestSuite* ccunit_suite (const char* name) { if (!suite_001.name[0]) suite_001.name = name; return ccunit_newTestSuiteFromDfn (&suite_001); } $ Post-build checkNow that we have our unit tests running, how about integrating unit testing to our build process ?To do that, the application must returns a value different than 0 to indicate that there was an error. ccunit_runTestRunner() returns a integer indicating if the run was successful. Updating our main programm, we obtains: #include <ccunit/CCUnitTestRunner.h> int main (int argc, char** argv) { CCUnitTestRunner* runner; CCUnitTestSuite* suite; int wasSucessful; runner = ccunit_newTestRunner (stdout); suite = ccunit_suite (); wasSucessful = ccunit_runTestRunner (runner, suite); return wasSucessful; } Now, you need to run your application after compilation.
