How to add unit test
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Unit test brings some advantages, briefly, we can list some of them (reference
|
||||
[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing)):
|
||||
|
||||
* Tests reduce bugs in new features;
|
||||
* Tests reduce bugs in existing features;
|
||||
* Tests are good documentation;
|
||||
* Tests reduce the cost of change;
|
||||
* Tests allow refactoring;
|
||||
|
||||
With those advantages in mind, it was required to choose a framework which fits
|
||||
well with C/C++ code. Hence, it was chosen (google test)
|
||||
[https://github.com/google/googletest], because it is largely used and it is
|
||||
relatively easy learn.
|
||||
|
||||
Install and configure google test (manually)
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In this section, you will see a brief description of how to install google
|
||||
test. However, it is strongly recommended that you take a look to the official
|
||||
repository (https://github.com/google/googletest) and refers to that if you
|
||||
have any problem to install it. Follow the steps below:
|
||||
|
||||
* Install: cmake and pthread
|
||||
* Clone google test project from: https://github.com/google/googletest and
|
||||
enter in the project directory
|
||||
* Inside project directory, type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* After compilation, copy all "*.so" inside directory "googlemock" and
|
||||
"googlemock/gtest" to "/usr/lib/"
|
||||
* Done! Now you can compile your tests.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any problem, go to the official repository to find help.
|
||||
|
||||
Ps.: Some distros already have googletest packed. If your distro supports it,
|
||||
you can use it instead of compile.
|
||||
|
||||
Create new unit test
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to add new unit tests for Yosys, just follow the steps below:
|
||||
|
||||
* Go to directory "yosys/test/unit/"
|
||||
* In this directory you can find something similar Yosys's directory structure.
|
||||
To create your unit test file you have to follow this pattern:
|
||||
fileNameToImplementUnitTest + Test.cc. E.g.: if you want to implement the
|
||||
unit test for kernel/celledges.cc, you will need to create a file like this:
|
||||
tests/unit/kernel/celledgesTest.cc;
|
||||
* Implement your unit test
|
||||
|
||||
Run unit test
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
To compile and run all unit tests, just go to yosys root directory and type:
|
||||
```
|
||||
make unit-test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to remove all unit test files, type:
|
||||
```
|
||||
make clean-unit-test
|
||||
```
