Detailed Description

A TestCase can be used for simple tests that require a initialization and deinitialization of resources. The implementor is supposed to implement the abstract method 'test' and the methods 'setUp' and 'tearDown' for resource management. When the test is run, 'setUp' will be called first, then 'test' and finally 'tearDown'.

class MyTest : public Pt::Unit::TestCase
{
  public:
    MyTest()
    : Pt::Unit::TestCase("MyTest")
    {}
 
    virtual void setUp()
    {
        // init resource
    }
 
    virtual void tearDown()
    {
        // release resource
    }
 
    void test()
    {
        // test code using a resource
    }
};
 
static Pt::Unit::RegisterTest<MyTest> _reg;

Once the test is written it can be registered to an application by using the RegisterTest class template.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TestCase()

TestCase

(

const std::string &

name

)

Constructs a TestCase with the passed name.

Parameters

name	Name of the test

Member Function Documentation

setUp()

virtual void setUp ( )

virtual

This function is called before each registered tester function is invoked. It is meant to initialize any required resources.

Reimplemented from TestFixture.

tearDown()

virtual void tearDown ( )

virtual

This function is called after each registered tester function is invoked. It is meant to remove any resources previously initialized in TestCase::setUp.

Reimplemented from TestFixture.

reportFinish()

void reportFinish ( const TestContext &  ctx )

inherited

This signal is sent when the test finished. It does not indicate that the test was successful.

reportSuccess()

void reportSuccess ( const TestContext &  ctx )

inherited

This signal is sent when the test was successful.

reportAssertion()

void reportAssertion ( const TestContext &  ctx, const Assertion &  ass  )

inherited

This signal is sent when a assertion failed.

reportException()

void reportException ( const TestContext &  ctx, const std::exception &  ex  )

inherited

This signal is sent when a regular std::exception occured.

reportError()

void reportError ( const TestContext &  ctx )

inherited

This signal is sent when an unknown error occured.

reportMessage()

void reportMessage ( const std::string &  msg )

inherited

This signal can be sent to report informational messages.
