Overview of this book

Modern, standard C++ is all that is needed to create a small and practical testing framework that will improve the design of any project. This allows you to think about how the code will be used, which is the first step in designing intuitive interfaces. TDD is a modern balanced software development approach that helps to create maintainable applications, provide modularity in design, and write minimal code that drastically reduces defects. With the help of this book, you'll be able to continue adding value when designs need to change by ensuring that the changes don't break existing tests. In this book, you will use test-driven development (TDD) to gain practical skills by writing a simple testing framework and then using it to drive the design of a logging library. The book will help you enhance your software development skills with test cases. You'll understand how to design and implement test cases. The chapters will also show you how to utilize the TDD approach to be more productive in software development than attempting to code in large unstructured steps. By the end of this book, you'll have gained knowledge of TDD and testing and also built a working logging library with unique features not found in other libraries.

Adding Tests to a Project

In this chapter, we’re going to add a major new ability to the test library. The new ability will let you check conditions within a test to make sure everything is going as planned. Sometimes, these checks are called an assert, and sometimes, they are called an expect. Whatever they are called, they let you confirm that the values you get back from the code being tested match expectations.

For this book and the test library that we’re creating, I’m going to call these checks confirmations. Each confirmation will be called a confirm. The reason for this is that assert is already being used in C++, and it can be confusing to use the same name. Additionally, expect is a common term within other test libraries, which is not by itself a reason to avoid using the same term. I actually like the term expect. But expect has another common behavior that we don’t want. Many other testing libraries will let a test continue even if an expect...
