Download as ppt, pdf7 likes4,874 views
The document summarizes how to set up and use the Google C++ Testing Framework (Google Test) for unit testing C++ code in Visual Studio 2008. It discusses why Google Test was selected over other testing frameworks, provides an overview of its features and how to set it up in a Visual Studio project. It also demonstrates defining tests with the TEST and ASSERT macros and different types of assertions and expectations that can be used within tests.

- 8. Narrowing selection The test frameworks chosen: CppUnit CppUnitLite Google C++ Testing Framework

- 11. Google C++ Testing Framework Features: Written by some guys at Google Writing test seems as simple as in CppUnitLite Opensource Works on many platforms: Visual Studio XCode gcc Documentation available online Seems to be used by many people (at least on stackoverflow.com)
- 12. The Winner is Google C ++ Testing Framework (a.k.a. gtest)
- 13. What do you need? Visual Studio 2008 Google Test Package (gtest-1.4.0.zip) This guide
- 14. How test are defined // the_compiler.cc #include <gtest/gtest.h> TEST( the_compiler , is_able_to_add ) { ASSERT_EQ(2, 1+1); } TEST( the_compiler , knows_when_two_numbers_are_different ) { ASSERT_NE(1, 2); } TEST( the_compiler , knows_who_comes_first ) { ASSERT_LT(1, 2); ASSERT_GT(2, 1); } Suggested nomeclature: A. The system under test. B. The tested features. Note: Autodiscovery! No need of enumerating tests. 1. Include the library headers 2. Write a TEST() for each features 2.1. Write Assertions
- 16. The Optional main() function Maybe you would insert a main() function which exercise all the test: int main( int argc, char * argv[]) { ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv); return RUN_ALL_TESTS(); } Or you can simply add this lib: gtest_maind.lib

How To Set Up (live) 1/2 Download and unzip gtest-1.4.0.zip (from http:// code.google.com/p/googletest / ) Build solution gtest-1.4.0/msvc/gtest.sln Create your testing project Add this to include path: gtest 1.4.0/includes Add these to the library path: gtest 1.4.0\msvc\gtest\Debug\gtest_maind.lib gtest-1.4.0\msvc\gtest\Debug\gtestd.lib
- 18. How To Set Up (live) 2/2 Resolve the remaining errors with some magic: Resolve linking error with: Use the “Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)” option Resolve the manifest error with: A “clean and build” ! Make FAIL messages clickable with: Setting Build Events > Post-Build Event > Command Line To value: "$(TargetDir)\$(TargetFileName)"
- 19. Assertions Most used assertion: ASSERT_TRUE( condition ); ASSERT_FALSE( condition ); ASSERT_EQ( expected, actual ); ASSERT_NE( val1, val2 ); ASSERT_STREQ( expected_str , actual_str );
- 20. Expectations Most used expectations: EXPECT_TRUE( condition ); EXPECT_FALSE( condition ); EXPECT_EQ( expected, actual ); EXPECT_NE( val1, val2 ); EXPECT_STREQ( expected_str , actual_str ); Expectations vs Assertions: If an assertion fails the TEST execution stops If an expectation fails the TEST execution continues
