Deployment is the last stage in application development process and before that, any application undergoes a comprehensive testing process to validate that the system meets its functional and non-functional requirements.
An application comprises several functions, classes, procedures which are referred to a unit. The objective in unit testing is to isolate each unit of the system and validate its precision by identifying and fixing the defects and bugs and benefit of unit testing is that issues can be identified on earlier stages.
Module UnitTest provides support for automated testing in Chapel. Any function of the form
proc funcName(test: borrowed Test) throws {}is treated as a test function. These functions must accept an object of Test Class
Object of Test Class is passed to Test functions to manage test state and support formatted test logs.
This class also provides several assert methods to check for and report failures. Eg:
- skip
- skipIf
- assertTrue
- assertFalse
- assertEqual
- assertNotEqual
- assertGreaterThan
- assertLessThan
Apart from these methods, several other methods are defined for specific needs.
You can specify the num of locales of a test using these method.
- addNumLocales
- maxLocales
- minLocales
- dependsOn
- Designed and implemented a UnitTest Framework.
- Implemented multiple assertion types. Gives detailed info on failing assert statements.
- Supports multi-locality, test dependencies
- Created multiple primitives for gathering test functions and accessing them.
- Automatically Gathers test functions
- Creating a Launcher. Currently, this is a standalone application built separately.
Integrating the unit test launcher into mason test which is being tracked in this github issue
