Is there any plug-in for auto-testing?
« on: November 14, 2013, 02:03:12 pm »
I am hoping to find an auto-test plug-in like the JUnit plug-in for eclipse. Is there anything like that or not? If not, I really hope somebody can develop one, that would be very helpful. ;)

There is the CppCheck test plugin; I have no idea if it is very much like JUnit.

Here's Eclipse's Junit plugin in action. We don't have anything like this in C::B at the moment.

This is a very good article on C++ uinit testing.

Hi, I am looking for suggestions of plugins that need to be developed. Oh, there is one. Ok, then, I could perhaps develop this, so called auto-test plugin for CodeBlocks. Would that be very helpful?

Sure, it would be helpful.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Yes, that would be very helpful, maybe you can try to incorporate cppUnit.

Or UnitTest++, Boost.Test, Google.Test, testframework.xxx, etc...

Wouldnt this make the CodeBlocks IDE too good? I mean, a plugin that manages test framworks similar to how it manages compilers. That would make CodeBlocks one step further to become THE development app; free, open source, broad compatibility, multi platform. I mean, that would not be desirable, now would it.

In fact using UnitTest++ works already, there is one small feature missing, but it is not such a pain.
I'm sure other frameworks will work, too.

I've never used JUnit, so I don't know what are the requirements and benjamin_t never stated them explicitly.
But I guess he wants to have automatic test generation, setup, etc...

beqroson: I'm not sure what is your goal, but it is better to concentrate on something you don't like in C::B and try to fix it.
                 Or if you want to fix just something in C::B go to our bug tracker at berlios and choose a random bug and fix it, then post a patch.

I am just extremely analytical, oBFusCATed, not biased. The thing that I find to be of concern is that none of the developers is getting paid for this. I am not saying they should be paid, nor that they should not be paid.

Imagine me working in a tools shopping center. In comes a hairy guy and buys a knife. He is not getting past me though. So I ask him "What are you going to do with that knife?", "Do you have a criminal record?", "Have you ever thought about hurting somebody?".

And as much as I like to start a project, I must always mulling over it for a long time first. With a lot of chatting about pros and cons. Sit tight because you will probably get irritated sooner or later about my neverending monologue.

And if it comes to this, you will be banned from the forum.
Not only that we devs get not paid for this project, also we admins get not paid.

But for legal stuff in the country where the server is hosted we have to read each and any post in this forum.
And if someone starts to flood it with ideas that leads to nowhere, he/she wastes our time and energy.

The time and energy we need to keep this (and for some of us also other) project(s) running, for the jobs we have/need to earn the money we need to buy food and last and most important for the time and energy we need for our family and friends.

So be careful!
