Hi,
I want to create a test that a) runs the same testing function with different sets of input data AND b) registers automatically
Boost.Test do not support this setup out of the box
Obviously I can use BOOST_PARAM_TEST_CASE macro for a), but how do I achieve b) at the same time? I've been fighting with the problem for many hours and I have no idea how to do it. Unfortunately the documentation is very cryptic.
Which particular part?
void testMethod( DataSet* data ) { /* do something with method that's being tested. Use data somehow */ BOOST_CHECK( /* assertion */ ); }
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( TestName ) { DataProvider dataProvider; test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "I don't think the name matters" ); test->add( BOOST_PARAM_TEST_CASE( &testMethod, dataProvider.dataSet.begin(), dataProvider.dataSet.end() ) ); framework::run( test ); }
This is not a good idea. You are changing test tree on a fly. Your best shot probably is to try ot do this in global fixture. You do not necessarily have to use the macro. class test_suite has add method that expects test_unit_generator const&. You can implement your own generator. Also you probably should register your test units directly under framework::master_test_suite() Gennadiy
