IRSOL
C++ code implementing socket server for interacting with Baumer camera.
Tests

This directory contains the test suite for the irsol library.

Unit tests

Structure

The unit/ folder structure closely mirrors the organization of the main irsol library source code.
This helps to keep tests well-organized and easy to navigate in relation to the corresponding library components.

Testing Framework

All tests are implemented using Catch2, a modern, header-only C++ testing framework.
Catch2 provides expressive test cases, rich assertions, and powerful test organization capabilities, making it a great choice for our project.

Running Tests

Build and run the tests according to Development Environment Configuration instructions. The tests will automatically execute and report results using Catch2's reporting style.

Writing new Tests

Feel free to create new tests in existing test_...cpp files, or creating new test files. If creating new test files, make sure to add them into the corresponding CMakeLists.txt file for compilation.

The structure of a test file is:

#include "irsol/irsol.hpp" // or whatever headers you need
#include <catch2/catch_all.hpp> // include the testing framework
TEST_CASE("MyTestCaseName", "[Tag1][Tag2]")
{
int i = 1;
CHECK(i == 1);
CHECK_FALSE(i < 1);
}
CHECK
CHECK(m.identifier==identifier)
CHECK_FALSE
CHECK_FALSE(m.hasDouble())
TEST_CASE
TEST_CASE("Pixel<T>::max())", "[PixelFormat]")
Definition test_pixel_format.cpp:6

Where:

  • "MyTestCaseName" is a string describing the test you're running. Ideally this should be short and representative
  • "[Tag1][Tag2]" is a string with formed by 0 or more [tagname] elements. This allows to run all testcases that are tagged with a specific tag easily via the command line.

More details are to be found on the Catch2 documentation.
