Test Suite Framework

This module is the test suite framework, which provides a set of standard functions and macros for defining and running test suites.

A test suite consists of test cases. Each test case consists of a set of functions that are called in a specific order by the framework when the test suite is run. The runtime environment of a test is referred to as the test fixture. A setup function can be defined for the purpose of fulfilling preconditions that are needed for the test to run. To free up or reset resources which were used in the test case, a cleanup function can be defined.

The following three functions can be defined for each test case:

The setup and/or cleanup functions may be skipped if they are not needed.

A function may report an error or failure by use of the macros test_fail , test_assert_true and test_assert_false. Note that only the first macro allows for the result value to be specified, while the two latter will automatically return TEST_FAIL if the specified condition is false.

If any of the functions return a failure/error result, execution of that specific function is ended. However, depending on which function did not pass, execution of the test case may continue:

The result of the first function in the test case which does not pass determines the end result.

Example code for definition of a test suite:

void setup_1(const struct test_case *test);
void run_1(const struct test_case *test);
void cleanup_1(const struct test_case *test);
void run_2(const struct test_case *test);
...
DEFINE_TEST_CASE(test_1,
setup_1,
run_1,
cleanup_1,
"First test");
run_2,
"Second test");
DEFINE_TEST_ARRAY(my_tests) = {
&test_1,
&test_2,
};
DEFINE_TEST_SUITE(my_suite, my_tests, "Two-test suite");
test_suite_run(&my_suite);
...

Example code for definition of a test case:

void setup_1(const struct test_case *test)
{
void *resource = allocate_test_resource();
if (resource == NULL) {
"Could not allocate test resource");
}
test_set_data(resource);
}
void run_1(const struct test_case *test)
{
void *resource = test_get_data();
int8_t test_result;
...
// TEST CODE
...
test_assert_true(test, test_result > 0,
"Test result is not larger than 0: %i", test_result);
test_assert_false(test, test_result > 2,
"Test result is larger than 2: %i", test_result);
}
void cleanup_1(const struct test_case *test)
{
void *resource = test_get_data();
free_test_resource(resource);
}

#define test_fail (   test,
  result,
  ... 
)    test_case_fail(test, result, __FILE__, __LINE__, __VA_ARGS__)

Fail the test.

Calling this function will cause the test to terminate with a failure. It will return directly to the test suite core, not to the caller.

Parameters
testTest case which failed
resultThe result of the test (may not be 0)
...printf()-style format string and arguments

Status codes returned by test cases and fixtures.

Note that test cases and especially fixtures may return any of the status codes defined by status_code as well.

Enumerator
TEST_ERROR 

Test error.

TEST_PASS 

Test success.

TEST_FAIL 

Test failure.

static int test_call ( void(*)(const struct test_case *)  func,
const struct test_case test 
)
static

Call a test or fixture function.

This function will initialize test_failure_jmpbuf and call func with test as the parameter.

Parameters
funcPointer to function to call.
test_casePointer to the function's originating test case.
Returns
TEST_PASS if func was executed successfully, or the result value passed to test_fail() on failure.

References test_failure_jmpbuf, and TEST_PASS.

void test_case_fail ( const struct test_case test,
int  result,
const char *  file,
unsigned int  line,
const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Report a failure and jump out of current test case function.

Parameters
testCurrent test case.
resultResult value of failure.
Note
Should not be TEST_PASS.
Parameters
fileName of file in which function resides.
lineLine number at which failure occurred.
fmtFailure message, as printf-formatted string.
...Values to insert into failure message.

References dbg_error, dbg_putchar, dbg_vprintf_pgm, test_case::name, and test_failure_jmpbuf.

static int test_case_run ( const struct test_case test)
static

Run a test case.

This function will call the setup, run and cleanup functions of the specified test case, outputting debug information as it goes, then returning the result value of the test case.

If the setup stage does not pass, the rest of the test case if skipped. If the test stage itself does not pass, the cleanup is still executed.

The result from the first non-passing function in the test case is returned, meaning a failing cleanup will override a successful test.

Parameters
test_caseTest case to run.
Returns
TEST_PASS if all functions execute successfully. Otherwise, the first non-zero value which is returned from the test case.
