API Sanity AutoTest

Description:

An automatic generator of basic unit tests for a shared C/C++ library. It helps to quickly generate simple ("sanity" or "shallow"-quality) test cases for every function in an API using their signatures, data type definitions and relationships between functions straight from the header files ("Header-Driven Generation").

Requirement:

GNU/Linux, Unix, FreeBSD, Haiku

BMOCK

Description:

BMOCK is a C++ library supporting Mock Objects. It Lets you create mocks for C functions and member functions - including constructors and destructors. It Supports dynamic mocking: In each test you can decide whether a function should be mocked, or execute its production code. Supports strict and non strict mocks (mocks ordering). It Supports IN, OUT and IN_OUT arguments as well as as special treatment for raw memory.

Requirement:

Windows

Boost

Description:

The Boost Test Library provides a matched set of components for writing test programs, organizing tests in to simple test cases and test suites, and controlling their runtime execution.

Requirement:

bullshtml

Description:

Html Reporter for BullseyeCoverage tool. BullseyeCoverage(www.bullseye.com) for C/C++ test coverage measurement is powerful to work with from very limited embedded systems to enterprise level applications. However, there is a lack of HTML reporting features. BullsHtml uses base bullseye coverage CLI commands to get the coverage result and generates it as HTML format similar to Cobertura (a Java test coverage tool).

Requirement:

Any

C Unit Test System

Description:

CUT is a simple, to-the-point unit testing system. It's different from other unit test packages in that it follows the KISS principle. It's designed for C testing, not designed to emulate SUnit.

Requirement:

OS Independent

cfix

Description:

xUnit testing framework for C/C++, specialized for Win32 (32/64 bit). cfix requires only little effort to author unit tests, which are compiled and linked into a DLL. The testrunner application provided by cfix allows selectively running tests of one or more of such test-DLLs. Execution and behaviour in case of failing testcases can be highly customized. Moreover, cfix has been designed to work well in conjunction with the Windows Debuggers (Visual Studio, WinDBG).

Requirement:

Windows

Cgreen

Description:

Cgreen is a pure C unit tester with mocks. Features are: composite test suites, each test runs in its own process, setup() and teardown(), reporting can be easily changed, and the ability to create mock functions.

Requirement:

Linux, MacOS

Check

Description:

Check is a unit test framework for C. It features a simple interface for defining unit tests, putting little in the way of the developer. Tests are run in a separate address space, so Check can catch both assertion failures and code errors that cause segmentation faults or other signals. The output from unit tests can be used within source code editors and IDEs.

Requirement:

POSIX

CMock

Description:

CMock is a module/object mocking framework for interaction-based unit testing in C projects. CMock itself is a set of Ruby scripts that generate mock module source code in C from C header files. CMock is most useful for testing when used in concert with a unit test framework such as Unity.

Requirement:

Any platform supporting Ruby and C

CPUnit

Description:

CPUnit is a unit test framework for C++ applications and programs. It is very much inspired by the elegance of JUnit, althoug, since C++ is a language quite different from Java, both the implementation and the way tests are written differ. (For instance, tests in CPUnit are never encapsulated in a class, but rather a namespace). The similarity is in the ease of use, the minimality of coding required to write good tests and user friendly command line options for test execution.

It will also automatically update Makefiles and support classes whenever you add new test functions or modify old ones.

Requirement:

UNIX

CUTest

Description:

CuTest is a unit testing library for the C language.

Requirement:

CxxTest

Description:

CxxTest is a JUnit/CppUnit/xUnit-like framework for C++.

This makes it extremely portable and usable.
