Overview

Fast C XUnit Test (FCTX) is a lightweight, cross platform, header-only framework for quick generation of x-unit tests in C and C++. Include a header and start typing out your tests.

With FCTX you can write tests in C/C++ just like you can in other introspective languages like Java and Python. FCTX does not require a post-processing step. FCTX does not require two-step registration of your functions. Declare your test and start writing.

Features

The list below outlines some of the current features,

• xUnit style fixtures
• Header only implementation
• Filter test run through prefix match
• Supports both C and C++ compilers

• Supports both gcc and msvc compilers

• Multi-File support

• Built-in command line parser (fctcl)

• Conditional test and test suite execution
• Set of standard type checks for equality with helpful error reports

• Customize and produce informative checks for your data types (fct_xchk)

• JUnit compatible logging support

There are always plans for many more features. Send me an email to the FCTX Mailing List if you wish to see something new.

Writing a Test with FCTX

1. Download the fct.h header into your testing directory.

2. Create a new file in the testing directory, call it test.c.

3. Write your first test:

#include "fct.h"

FCT_BGN() {
    FCT_QTEST_BGN(my_first_test) {
        fct_chk_eq_str("wild", "wild");
    } FCT_QTEST_END();
} FCT_END();

4. Compile

• Using msvc: cl test.c

• Using gcc: gcc test.c

5. Run

• On windows: test.exe

• On linux: ./a.out
