ACCU London:Rethinking Unit Testing in C++
Rethinking Unit Testing in C++
Kevlin Henney, author of Agile Development for Developers will explore the typical styles used for C++ unit-testing frameworks before going on to look at other possibilities that are more likely to encourage programmer testing and higher quality unit tests.
C++ continues to be used widely in a number of domains. However, in spite of its continued popularity and presence, much of the recent thinking on programmer testing has passed C++ by. For reasons of programmer culture and language design, the practice of programmer testing and techniques such as TDD are often not even on the radar of many C++ programmers. This situation is not helped by the limitations of many C++ unit-testing frameworks. Some of the issues are caused by limitations in the language, whereas others are limitations in thinking.
In this talk, Kevlin Henney will explore the typical styles used for C++ unit-testing frameworks before going on to look at other possibilities that a more likely to encourage programmer testing and higher quality unit tests.
From the raw use of the assert macro, to xUnit-style frameworks, to more natively C++-style frameworks and then onto a specification-centric approach that abandons functions as the basic unit of test case decomposition. The technical and practitioner pros and cons of each approach are examined.
