C Language Testing frameworks Unity Test Framework
Example
Unity is an xUnit-style test framework for unit testing C. It is written completely in C and is portable, quick, simple, expressive and extensible. It is designed to especially be also useful for unit testing for embedded systems.
A simple test case that checks the return value of a function, might look as follows
void test_FunctionUnderTest_should_ReturnFive(void)
{
TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_INT( 5, FunctionUnderTest() );
}
A full test file might look like:
#include "unity.h"
#include "UnitUnderTest.h" /* The unit to be tested. */
void setUp (void) {} /* Is run before every test, put unit init calls here. */
void tearDown (void) {} /* Is run after every test, put unit clean-up calls here. */
void test_TheFirst(void)
{
TEST_IGNORE_MESSAGE("Hello world!"); /* Ignore this test but print a message. */
}
int main (void)
{
UNITY_BEGIN();
RUN_TEST(test_TheFirst); /* Run the test. */
return UNITY_END();
}
Unity comes with some example projects, makefiles and some Ruby rake scripts that help make creating longer test files a bit easier.
