CppUTest is a C /C++ based unit xUnit test framework for unit testing and for test-driving your code.

Getting test reports on the console

You may need to tailor the file src/Platforms/mbed/UtestPlatform.cpp to your needs. In particular, if you want console output, you might want to look at the function PlatformSpecificPutchar().

Quick introduction (some code!)

To write your first test, all you need is a new cpp file with a TEST_GROUP and a TEST, like:

#include "CppUTest/TestHarness.h"

TEST_GROUP(FirstTestGroup)
{
};

TEST(FirstTestGroup, FirstTest)
{
   FAIL("Fail me!");
}

This test will fail.

You can add new tests to the test group by just writing more tests in the file, like this:

TEST(FirstTestGroup, SecondTest)
{
   STRCMP_EQUAL("hello", "world");
   LONGS_EQUAL(1, 2);
   CHECK(false);
}

You do need to trigger the tests from somewhere in your program. It could look something like:

#include "CppUTest/TestRegistry.h"
#include "CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h"

int main(int ac, char** av)
{
    ....
    unsigned failureCount = 0;
    {
        ConsoleTestOutput output;
        CommandLineTestRunner runner(ac, av, &output, TestRegistry::getCurrentRegistry());
        failureCount = runner.runAllTestsMain();
    }

    if (failureCount == 0) {
        console.printf("PASSED\r\n");
    }
    ...
}

For more information, We’d recommend to read the manual or, even better, check some existing tests such as SimpleStringTest or (a bit more complicated) MemoryLeakDetectorTest or the mocking tests or just check out the Cheat Sheet.

/*
 * This file can be used to get extra debugging information about memory leaks in your production code.
 * It defines a preprocessor macro for operator new. This will pass additional information to the
 * operator new and this will give the line/file information of the memory leaks in your code.
 *
 * You can use this by including this file to all your production code. When using gcc, you can use
 * the -include file to do this for you.
 *
 * Warning: Using the new macro can cause a conflict with newly declared operator news. This can be
 * resolved by:
 * 1. #undef operator new before including this file
 * 2. Including the files that override operator new before this file.
 *    This can be done by creating your own NewMacros.h file that includes your operator new overrides
 *    and THEN this file.
 *
 * STL (or StdC++ lib) also does overrides for operator new. Therefore, you'd need to include the STL
 * files *before* this file too.
