Unit Testing

Introduction

Unit testing can be used for testing small pieces of functionality. We use GoogleTest as our test framework.

Running Tests

GoogleTest is already included in the OGS source code. Running tests is as simple as building the tests-target.

Writing Tests

All tests are located inside the Tests-directory in library-specific subfolders. To write a new test you simply create a new .cpp-file and use the GoogleTest macros.
