In this article, we will explore how we can take two libraries we have developed before on this website (namely the linear algebra solver library and the mesh reader library) and add CMake scripts to them to fully automate the compilation and deployment stages from configuring the project to compilation, testing, documentation generation, installation, and …

In this article, we look at the last remaining topic in our series on software testing; Mocking. This aspect plays a a very big role in the testing of web and mobile applications, but not so much for console applications such as CFD solvers. However, there are specific use cases where mocking can help us …

In this article, we extend our knowledge on how to integrate gtest into our mesh reading library using the CGNS data format for structured and unstructured grids that we developed in a previous series. We will rewrite the unit tests that we have already written using our own primitive testing framework and highlight how gtest …

In this article, we will look at testing frameworks in C++ and I provide reasons for why I am using Google’s gtest testing framework and why it covers all of our use-cases we have to test CFD solvers and related code. We will use it to rewrite our tests for the complex number class we …

In our final article of this series, we will take our project and turn it into a library. This means that we have to create new build scripts that can compile our library code as either a static or a dynamic library. This is what we will focus on in the first half of this …
In this article, we have a bit of ground to cover. We will look at how we can take the library code that we developed over the last few articles and turn it into either a static, dynamic, or header-only library. While static and dynamic libraries only differ in the compilation process, we have to …
