[Uml-devel] Test Framework

[Sebastian Stein]

I looked a little bit around what might be a good test framework for
Umbrello. There are several products, but I think most of them are not
really well maintained or were already stopped to been developed.


Boost
http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/index.htm
http://www.boost.org/
- might become a C++ standard
- unfortunally, boost is a very big library for everything, not just testing
- they use Boost to test the boost library

CppUnit
http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/FrontPage?action=show
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppunit
- port of JUnit
- not active maintained?

MockCpp
http://mockpp.sourceforge.net/
- use mock concept (http://www.connextra.com/aboutUs/mockobjects.pdf)
- based on EasyMock http://www.easymock.org/
- testing classes with real objects
- maybe too complex to understand

Has anyone used one of the candidates? Are there any pros or cons? At the
moment I would say we should go with boost...
