Chapter 9. Passing the First Test
Submitted by noreply@blogger.com (Steve Freeman) on Thu, 04/09/2008 - 08:03.We've posted another episode from our long worked example.
At the start of every test run, we need our test script to start up the Openfire server, create accounts for the Sniper and Auction, and then run the tests. Each test will start instances of the application and fake auction and test their communication through the server.
We've also made some changes in response to comments on the discussion list

TotT: Data Driven Traps!
Submitted by noreply@blogger.com (dastels) on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 00:15.When writing a unit test, it is tempting to exercise many scenarios by writing a data-driven test. For example, to test the function IsWord, you could write (ARRAYSIZE is a macro that returns the number of elements in an array):
const struct {const char* word; bool is_word;} test_data[] = {
{"milk", true}, {"centre", false}, {"jklm", false},
};
TEST(IsWordTest, TestEverything) {
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAYSIZE(test_data); i++)
EXPECT_EQ(test_data[i].is_word, IsWord(test_data[i].word));
}
