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.

Summary

This has been more of a reflective chapter where you learned some tips to help you write better tests. Examples from earlier and later chapters were used to help reinforce the ideas and guidance. You’ll write better tests if you make sure to consider the following items:

  • The tests should be easy to understand with descriptive names.
  • Prefer small and focused tests instead of large tests that try to do everything.
  • Make sure that tests are repeatable. If a test fails once, then it should continue to fail until the code is fixed.
  • Once you test something, you don’t need to keep testing the same thing. And if you have some useful code that other tests can share, then consider putting the code in its own project with its own set of tests. Only test the code that is in your project.
  • Test what should happen instead of how it should happen. In other words, focus less on the internal steps and instead verify the results you are most interested in...
