I unit test my classes by giving all my classes an interface. These interfaces have in turn their own mocks.
But lets say I have the following:
class IData
{
GetData()
}
class IOnScreenDataCalculator
{
Calculate(IData)
}
class OnScreenData : IOnScreenData
{
OnScreenData(PTR_T(IData), PTR_T(IOnScreenDataCalculator))
enter code here
GetOnScreenData()
}
Now lets say that I wish to have a number of factories for different types of data and calculators. How can I unit test these factories where my factories are as follows:
OnScreenBlueDataForWideScreenFactory
{
PTR:T(IOnScreenData) Create()
{
PTR_T(Data) data = ptr_t(new BlueData());
PTR_T(IOnScreenDataCalculator) calculator = ptr_t(new WideScreenDataCalculator());
PTR_T(IOnScreenData) onScreenData = ptr_t(new WideScreenDataCalculator(data, calculator ));
return onScreenData;
}
}
Thanks for your help,
Barry.
I am not sure the code snippets are really c++, but the example should be something like this :
class ExampleIface
{
public:
virtual ~ExampleIface() {}
virtual void a() = 0;
};
class Example1: public ExampleIface
{
public:
virtual ~Example1() {}
virtual void a()
{
// something
}
};
class ExampleFactory
{
public :
typedef ExampleIface * ExamplePtrType; // can be shared_ptr instead
static ExamplePtrType Create( /*params?*/)
{
ExamplePtrType p( new Example1 );
return p;
}
private:
ExampleFactory();
~ExampleFactory();
};
and the unit test:
void test_Create()
{
ExampleFactory::ExamplePtrType p = ExampleFactory::Create();
Example1 *realType = dynamic_cast< Example1* >( p );
TS_ASSERT( NULL != realType ); // if you use cxxtest
}
