[The acceptance test makes the customer satisfied that the software provides
|
|
the business value that makes them willing to pay for it. The unit test makes
|
|
the programmer satisfied that the software does what the programmer thinks
|
|
it does]--Xp Maxim

What is the first thing you need to do when you start working on new library/class/program?
|
|
That's right - you need to start with the unit test module (I hope you all
|
|
gave this answer!). Occasional, simple test may be implemented using asserts.
|
|
But any professional developer soon finds this approach lacking. It becomes
|
|
clear that it's too time-consuming and tedious for simple, but repetitive unit
|
|
testing tasks and it's too inflexible for most nontrivial ones.
|
|

|
|
The Boost Test Library Unit Test Framework (further in the documentation referred
|
|
by the acronym <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>) provides both an easy to use and flexible
|
|
solution to this problem domain: C++ unit test implementation and organization.
