| Title |
Unit Test with Google Test Activity |
|---|---|
| Overview |
Participants install the Google Test library and run an existing C++ project to see individual test results and confirm successful installation. |
| Prerequisites |
Have set up a development environment that will compile C++. Configurations differ slightly from one operating system to another, but should work on most. |
| Learning Objectives |
After successfully completing this activity, the learner should be able to:
|
| Process Skills Practiced |
Directions
Students
- First, you will need to install Google Test on your machine. The code is provided on https://github.com/google/googletest
- I suggest placing Google Test in a location where other source libraries are placed, such as
/usr/local/include - Next, go to a different directory (such as one you use to organize your files for this course, or a folder where you store your own code). Clone this cpp-gtest repository.
- Once cloned, edit Makefile find this line:
GTEST_DIR = /usr/local/include/gtestand change it to the directory you placed Google Test. Provide the entire path to the directory in Google Test that has the following folders/files:
internal
gtest.h
gtest-typed-test.h
gtest-test-part.h
(and more .h files...) - Once you've edited the file, save it and run the command
Make - Next, run the command
./RandoTest - The output should show that one test has been run (and passed).
- Take a screenshot of this output and submit the image for this assignment
Deliverables
A screen shot of the automated test results.
Notes for Instructors
Assessment
Students should have a screen shot of Google Test results that show that a test has been run and passed in command line output.
