Google C++ Testing Framework in Visual Studio 2008
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.

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

How To SetUp (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 usedassertion: ASSERT_TRUE( condition ); ASSERT_FALSE( condition ); ASSERT_EQ( expected, actual ); ASSERT_NE( val1, val2 ); ASSERT_STREQ( expected_str , actual_str );
- 20. Expectations Most usedexpectations: 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
