1. There are several macros used in Symbian Unit Test Framework, we should define the macro SYMBIAN_UNIT_TEST in our test project’s mmp file to enable them.
+BASE_CONSTRUCT:
+ Calls the base class constructor that sets the name of unit test, usually used in ConstructL in wrapper class.
ADD_SUT( aTestPtr ):
+ Adds a new unit test case to this unit test. The default setup and teardown functions will be used.
ADD_SUT_WITH_SETUP_AND_TEARDOWN( aSetupPtr, aTestPtr, aTeardownPtr ):
+ Adds a new unit test case to this unit test. The user can specify the customized setup and teardown functions.
+
+SUT_ASSERT( aCondition ):
+ Asserts a condition in a unit test case. Leaves with a Symbian unit test framework specific error code if the condition evaluates to EFalse.
SUT_ASSERT_EQUALS( aExpected, aActual ):
+ Asserts that two values are equal. Leaves with a Symbian unit test framework specific error code if the values are not equal.
SUT_ASSERT_LEAVE_WITH( aStatement, aError ):
+ Asserts that a statement leaves an expected value. Leaves with a Symbian unit test framework specific error code if the leave code is not the expected one.
SUT_ASSERT_LEAVE( aStatement ):
+ Asserts that a statement leaves. The macro itself leaves with a Symbian unit test framework specific error code if the statement leaves.
The detailed explaination can be found in symbianunittestmacros.h.
+2. Classes in Symbian Unit Test Framework.
+In this section, we will review some key classes in SymbianUnitTest Framework. While writing a test project, below classes should be aware of from the client’s perspective:
+CSymbianUnitTest
+CSymbianUnitTest is a basic test unit; it corresponds to the class which we will test. Client programmer should derive from it and implement test code in CSymbianUnitTest’s derived class.
+Client user needs to override two methods SetupL and Teardown if extra initialization needed to run test case.
CSymbianUnitTestSuite
+CSymbianUnitTestSuite is the collection/container of CSymbianUnitTest. On the other words, it simply collects a number of CSymbianUnitTest's derived classes and run them during a particular test run.
