Create test classes and methods

TEST_CLASS(className)

Required for each class containing test methods. Identifies className as a test class. TEST_CLASS must be declared at namescape scope.

TEST_METHOD(methodName)
{
    // test method body
}

Defines methodName as a test method. TEST_METHOD must be declared in the scope of the method's class.

Initialize and cleanup

Test methods

TEST_METHOD_INITIALIZE(methodName)
{
    // method initialization code
}

Defines methodName as a method that runs before each test method is run. TEST_METHOD_INITIALIZE can only be defined once in a test class and must be defined in the test class.

TEST_METHOD_CLEANUP(methodName)
{
    // test method cleanup  code
}

Defines methodName as a method that runs after each test method is run. TEST_METHOD_CLEANUP can only be defined once in a test class and must be defined in the scope of the test class.

Test classes

TEST_CLASS_INITIALIZE(methodName)
{
    // test class initialization  code
}

Defines methodName as a method that runs after each test class is created. TEST_CLASS_INITIALIZE can only be defined once in a test class and must be defined in the scope of the test class.

TEST_CLASS_CLEANUP(methodName)
{
    // test class cleanup  code
}

Defines methodName as a method that runs after each test class is created. TEST_CLASS_CLEANUP can only be defined once in a test class and must be defined in the scope of the test class.

Test modules

TEST_MODULE_INITIALIZE(methodName)
{
    // module initialization code
}

Defines the method methodName that runs when a module is loaded. TEST_MODULE_INITIALIZE can only be defined once in a test module and must be declared at namespace scope.

TEST_MODULE_CLEANUP(methodName)

Defines the method methodName that runs when a module is unloaded. TEST_MODULE_CLEANUP can only be defined once in a test module and must be declared at namespace scope.

Create test attributes

Test method attributes

BEGIN_TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE(testMethodName)
    TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE(attributeName, attributeValue)
    ...
END_TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE()

Adds the attributes defined with one or more TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE macros to the test method testClassName.

A TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE macro defines an attribute with the name attributeName and the value attributeValue.

Test class attributes

BEGIN_TEST_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE(testClassName)
    TEST_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE(attributeName, attributeValue)
    ...
END_TEST_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE()

Adds the attributes defined with one or more TEST_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE macros to the test class testClassName.

A TEST_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE macro defines an attribute with the name attributeName and the value attributeValue.

Test module attributes

BEGIN_TEST_MODULE_ATTRIBUTE(testModuleName)
    TEST_MODULE_ATTRIBUTE(attributeName, attributeValue)
    ...
END_TEST_MODULE_ATTRIBUTE()

Adds the attributes defined with one or more TEST_MODULE_ATTRIBUTE macros to the test module testModuleName.

A TEST_MODULE_ATTRIBUTE macro defines an attribute with the name attributeName and the value attributeValue.

Pre-defined attributes

These pre-defined attribute macros can be substituted for the macros TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE, TEST_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE, OR TEST_MODULE_ATTRIBUTE described above.

TEST_OWNER(ownerAlias)

Defines an attribute with the name Owner and the attribute value of ownerAlias.

TEST_DESCRIPTION(description)

Defines an attribute with the name Description and the attribute value of description.

TEST_PRIORITY(priority)

Defines an attribute with the name Priority and the attribute value of priority.

TEST_WORKITEM(workitem)

Defines an attribute with the name WorkItem and the attribute value of workItem.

TEST_IGNORE()

Defines an attribute with the name Ignore and the attribute value of true.
