Typemock C/C++ Webinar Series

So you’ve decided to write your C++ unit tests. The first step is choosing a testing framework. Which frameworks should you go with?

We’re going to introduce the most frequently used frameworks and compare them. We’ll also discuss things to think about when choosing a framework for unit testing C/C++.
We’ll write tests in CppUnit, GoogleTest, Boost Test, and UnitTest++. You will explore the ease-of-use, APIs, and answer your questions about what is important in a testing framework.

Let us help you choose the right framework for you. Battle it out. Who do you think is the top framework?

We have all heard that Unit Tests can do wonders for code integrity, timely deliveries and the financial viability of a software project. It seems a little too good to be true. Not only that, but it comes with a significant organizational and professional learning curve, so the risks are clear and the rewards can seem intangible.

Software testing isn’t just a task for QA. In order to prevent bugs and release quality code to market, you also need developer testing, including unit testing. Discover why you should start unit testing, and how you can get started with automated tests quickly.
Watch this webinar and learn:
• Benefits of unit testing
• xUnit Frameworks
• The difference between unit testing and test-driven development (TDD).

Examples will be in C++.

Legacy code is a real problem with C++ applications. With so many developers working on the same codebase over time — decades even — your code gets complicated and full of dependencies.

Unit testing is often the best solution to ensure that your legacy code does what it’s supposed to do. But sometimes unit testing C++ legacy code can be problematic.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:
• Deal with global C functions
• Deal with private calls to functions that you want to avoid
• Deal with your code creating objects that you want to ignore
• Test when there is no external state to check
• Simulate values that are returned by reference

Unit testing in C/C++ has proven value in finding as much as 90% of defects. But it is very hard. We know that. We’ve been there. Using a test runner is just not enough.

In Unit testing C/C++ code we want to test a single feature, but then we hit a major problem: our code calls other classes, databases, services and 3rd party libraries.
To solve this, we’ll need to change our code. But changing it is risky. We are likely to introduce new bugs and then find ourselves rewriting our unit tests instead of writing new code.

Watch this webinar to learn how to start unit testing in C++ in Linux:
• How your multi-platform development team can use the same solution and API to test C++ code – existing or legacy code
• What you need in order to unit test
• How to test code that calls global, statics, and non-public functions
