nosh

nosh is a no shit C++ test framework

Why write tests with nosh?

1. What you see is what you get. No magic behind your back.
2. No shoutcased macros
3. A test is a simple C++ class. An assertion is a simple method of the Test class with defined syntax.
4. Easy to understand and get started.
5. Develop parameter based tests. Easily generate parameters for tests using Generators.

Getting started

1. Download nosh.hpp or clone this repository
2. Make sure nosh.hpp is in one of your project's include paths
3. Follow the tutorial section to add test cases to your project using nosh

Tutorial

Simple test

class SimpleTest: public Test {
public:
  SimpleTest() {
    //TODO Construction goes here
  }
  
  virtual ~SimpleTest() {
    //TODO Destruction goes here
  }
  
  virtual void run() {
    //TODO Test logic goes here
  }
};

int main(void) {
  execTest(SimpleTest());
}

Assertions

Basic assertions

Fatal assertion	Nonfatal assertion	Verifies
assertTrue(condition);	expectTrue(condition);	condition is true
assertFalse(condition);	expectFalse(condition);	condition is false

Binary assertions

Fatal assertion	Nonfatal assertion	Verifies
assertEQ(val1, val2);	expectEQ(val1, val2);	val1 == val2
assertNE(val1, val2);	expectNE(val1, val2);	val1 != val2
assertLT(val1, val2);	expectLT(val1, val2);	val1 < val2
assertLE(val1, val2);	expectLE(val1, val2);	val1 <= val2
assertGT(val1, val2);	expectGT(val1, val2);	val1 > val2
assertGE(val1, val2);	expectGE(val1, val2);	val1 >= val2
