Unit testing means writing code that verifies individual parts, or units, of an application or library. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application. Unit tests assess code in isolation. In C++ this means writing tests for methods or functions. I am writing a basic calculator program and trying to use CPPUnitTest to test the code in Visual studio 2019.After that I have to build this in Jenkins too. Please don't judge .. I am writing unit Test for the 1st time .. this is my Calculator.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "Calc.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
Calc obj;
float a, b;
cin >> a >> b;
int menu;
cout << "Enter what operation you want(1-4);" << endl;
cout << "1. Addition" << endl;
cout << "2. Subtraction" << endl;
cout << "3. Multiplication" << endl;
cout << "4. Division" << endl;
cin >> menu;
switch (menu)
{
case 1:obj.add(a, b);
break;
case 2:obj.sub(a, b);
break;
case 3:obj.multiply(a, b);
break;
case 4:
try
{
obj.divide(a, b);
}
catch (std::runtime_error& e)
{
cout << e.what() << "\n";
}
break;
default:
{
cout << "Invalid input" << endl;
}
}
}
This is class Calc or "Calc.h"
Here I have used std::runtime_error
to throw error on division bye zero
#pragma once
#include <stdexcept>
class Calc {
public:
float add(float a, float b)
{
return a + b;
}
float sub(float a, float b) {
return a - b;
}
float multiply(float a, float b) {
return a * b;
}
float divide(float a, float b) {
if (b == 0)
{
throw std::runtime_error("Division by zero condition!");
}
return a / b;
}
};
I am trying to write unit test using CPPUnitTest for my code.
I have written code for add and subtract using assert::AreEqual
but for divide by zero condition, I don't know to write the test case.
this is my unit test code.
#include "pch.h"
#include "CppUnitTest.h"
#include "../Calculator/Calc.h"
#include <stdexcept>
using namespace std;
using namespace Microsoft::VisualStudio::CppUnitTestFramework;
namespace CalculatorTest
{
TEST_CLASS(CalculatorTest)
{
public:
Calc cal;
TEST_METHOD(AddTest)
{
float k = cal.add(3, 4);
Assert::AreEqual(7.0f,k);
}
TEST_METHOD(SubTest)
{
float k = cal.sub(3, 4);
Assert::AreNotEqual(-2.0f, k);
}
TEST_METHOD(DivByZeroTest)
{
//what should I write here
}
};
}
Please help me to write the test method for this .
Somewhere I read CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW(cal->divide(12,0), std::runtime_error);
but this is not working in my case. How can I make Assert::AreEqual
Also suggest which else method I can use to increase my code coverage.
You should not use assert::AreEqual
when checking for exceptions.
You could wrap your exception throwing code in a lambda and pass it to Assert::ExpectException<std::runtime_error>
, which should assert true
if the expected exception is thrown:
TEST_METHOD(DivByZeroTest)
{
auto func = [] { return cal.divide(1.f, 0.f); };
Assert::ExpectException<std::runtime_error>(func);
}
I expect that this does something like this internally::
bool result = false;
try {
func();
} catch(const std::runtime_error&) {
result = true;
} catch(...) {
}
return result;
