Any complains?

No convenient controls

Run in batch mode

Does gtest help?

No control of test suite and test cases

● Fatal and non-fatal assertions○ EXPECT_EQ(x, 10);EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ(x,10.0)

○ ASSERT_EQ(x, 10);ASSERT_DOUBLE_EQ(x,10.0)

● Easy assertions informative messages:assert(x == 10);

EXPECT_EQ(x, 10) << “vector (” << old_x <<

”,” << old_y << ”) moved to (” << x << ”,” <<

y << ”)\n”;

> ./test.out

[ RUN ] MYTEST.TestFoo

test.cpp:37: Failure

Value of: x

Actual: 11

Expected: 10

vector (10, 77) move to (11, 77)

[ FAILED ] MYTEST.TestFoo (0 ms)

DEATH TEST calc_isect(int *x, int *y, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2,

int x3, int y3, int x4, int y4, int tolerance)

{

if (x==NULL || y==NULL)

{

cerr << “Input is invalid.\n”;

exit(1);

}

… …}

TEST(GEODeathTest, CalcIsect) {

ASSERT_DEATH(CalcIsect(NULL, NULL, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0),

}

Adding Traces to Assertions

void Sub1(int n) {

EXPECT_EQ(1, Bar(n));

EXPECT_EQ(2, Bar(n + 1));

}

TEST(FooTest, Bar) {

{

SCOPED_TRACE("A");

Sub1(1);

}

Sub1(9);

}

path/to/foo_test.cc:11: Failure

Value of: Bar(n)

Expected: 1

Prepare your test case• test.cpp contains main() in test directory

#include "_test_util.h"

static void

infrastructure_init(void)

{

vmemUseMalloc(1);

vmemInit_m();

vmemSetIncrementValue(VMEM_MEGABYTE_MINUS);

hoVMsetDefaultPoolLockingState(0);

vth_init();

}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

infrastructure_init(); // Write a function like this to initialize vmem, threading etc.

::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);

int result = RUN_ALL_TESTS(); Initialize gtest and runs all tests.

return result;

}

SetUp()

TEST/TEST_F/TEST_PTearDown()

Test types of Gtest

• TEST()• TEST_F() -- Fixture

• TEST_P() -- Value-parameterized fixture– Range()– Values()– ValuesIn()– Bool()– Combine()

TEST(GEO, CalcIsect) {

int x1, y1, x2, y2;

int x3, y3, x4, y4;

int x, y;




assert(x == 11);


}

Test Fixtures

• Sometimes you want to run several tests on similar data structures (same setup before running test).

• In a fixture you define common setup/tear-down for multiple tests

• Reduces amount of test code by avoiding repetition

class GEO : public ::testing::Test {

protected:

virtual void SetUp() {}

void ZapMemoryPool() {}

virtual void TearDown() {}

int x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4, x, y;

};

TEST_F(GEO, CalcIsect) {




assert(x == 11);


}

TEST_P() -- Value-parameterized fixture

● generator based tests.

Range(begin, end[, step])

Yields values {begin, begin+step, begin+step+step, ...}. The values do not include end. step defaults to 1.

Values(v1, v2, ..., vN) Yields values {v1, v2, ..., vN}.

ValuesIn(container) and ValuesIn(begin, end)

Yields values from a C-style array, an STL-style container, or an iterator range [begin, end). container, begin, and end can be expressions whose values are determined at run time.

Bool() Yields sequence {false, true}.

Combine(g1, g2, ..., gN)

Yields all combinations (the Cartesian product for the math savvy) of the values generated by the N generators. This is only available if your system provides the <tr1/tuple> header.

class GEO : public ::testing::TestWithParam<int> {

protected:

virtual void SetUp() {}

void ZapMemoryPool() {}

virtual void TearDown() {}

int x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4, x, y;

};

INSTANTIATE_TEST_CASE_P(AUTO_GEN_OH, GEO, ::testing::Range(1,12,1));

TEST_P(GEO, CalcIsect) {

double angle = PI/180 * 15 * GetParam();

x1 = -100; y1 = 0; x2 = 100; y2 = 0;

x3 = -50; y3 = 0; x4 = 50; y4 = 0;

rotate(&x3, &y4, angle);

rotate(&x4, &y4, angle);


assert(x == 0 && y == 0);

}

How to install gtest

Easy Install> wget http://googletest.googlecode.com/files/gtest-1.7.0.zip

> unzip gtest-1.7.0.zip

> cd gtest-1.7.0

> ./configure

> make

> cp -a include/gtest /usr/include

> sudo cp -a lib/.libs/* /usr/lib/

http://googletest.googlecode.com/files/gtest-1.7.0.zip

How to use google test

• You must check out gtest to use unit test feature. We do not have the executable of gtest.

• E.g.– /path/to/foo/

– build

– arch

– src

– exec

– gtest

– include

– lib

How to use google test (II)

• E.g./path/to/foo/

– exec

– gtest

– include

– lib

– bar <<< Library under test, contains production code

– published

– test <<< Directory contains test code

test> make

Some points to keep in mind

• gtest is useful for testing primitive functions in libraries• Unit testing does not replace regression testing• With gtest:

– You do not modify production code. – You add test code that calls library functions.– You check-in test code to repository

• Production code is not compiled/linked with gtest• Using gtest creates a test binary, not icv binary

Coding Style and Rules

• Don’t mix TEST(), TEST_F(), TEST_P()• Don’t use global variables, use test fixture to instead• Gtest does not reuse the same test fixture object across

multiple tests• Spell SetUp() correctly.• Gtest use fork() to do death test, do not try not to free

memory in a death test.• You can derive new class from your own class.

Coding Style and Rules

• Use Camel Case style to name test cases and suite– E.g., TEST(Time, Flies_Like_An_Arrow) { ... }

and TEST(Time_Flies, Like_An_Arrow) { … }will have the same name Time_Files_Like_An_Arrow_Test

• Current Naming Rule– Test suite name is all uppercase– Test case name is Camel Case style with underscore.

– E.g., TEST_F(SPACING_UTIL__PNT_EDGE, WhichHalfRes_SamePoints)
