In this article, we will have a look at how we can integrate unit, integration, and system tests with CMake. We will see that CMake comes with additional helper utilities, one of which is CTest. We use CMake to register all tests and then compile them into individual executables, and we use CTest to run …

In this article, we look at how we can test the linear algebra solver library we developed previously. In particular, we will look at how we can write unit, integration, and system tests that ensure our code is working using both white-box and black-box testing. This will provide our code with additional resistance against regressions …

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 this article, we will put the knowledge that we gained from the previous article on software testing principles into practice, and learn about different software project management approaches, that prioritise testing differently. We will see that there are two competing approaches available, the waterfall and agile approach, where the waterfall approach leaves testing to …
The test-driven development for writing bug-free CFD code Read More »
In this series, we are going to look at software testing, how we can incorporate that into our CFD coding projects and how we can run tests automatically to ensure that we have a bug-free codebase. In this opening article, we will define common terminology and get an intuitive understanding of how tests are structured …

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 …
