This Skill streamlines the process of writing, debugging, and maintaining tests for C++ projects, ensuring code quality and reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test Development: Write new unit and integration tests using GoogleTest/GoogleMock.
  • Debugging & Flakiness: Diagnose and fix failing or flaky tests.
  • CI/CD Integration: Configure CMake/CTest for robust test execution and coverage reporting.
  • Sanitizers: Enable AddressSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, and ThreadSanitizer for deep error detection.

Quick Start

Use the cpp-testing skill to write a new GoogleTest for the Add function in src/add.cpp.

Frequently Asked Questions about cpp-testing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a GoogleTest for a specific C++ function?▼

Generate C++ tests using GoogleTest and GoogleMock frameworks by creating test fixtures and assertions for your functions. This skill facilitates writing unit and integration tests while promoting deterministic and isolated test suites.

How do I integrate GoogleTest with CMake and CTest?▼

Configure CMake and CTest to execute GoogleTest suites within your C++ project. This skill supports CI/CD integration to automate robust test execution and generate coverage reporting using gcov, lcov, or llvm-cov.

How do I generate test coverage reports for C++ using gcov or llvm-cov?▼

Generate C++ test coverage reports using gcov, lcov, or llvm-cov to measure executed code paths. This skill supports coverage generation integrated with CMake and CTest, providing detailed metrics for code reliability analysis.

How do I use AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer with GoogleTest?▼

Enable AddressSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, and ThreadSanitizer during GoogleTest execution to detect runtime memory and threading errors. This skill supports deep error detection to diagnose failing tests and ensure code quality.

Why does my C++ test fail intermittently and how do I fix flakiness?▼

Diagnose flaky C++ tests by identifying common testing pitfalls and ensuring deterministic, isolated test suites. This skill facilitates debugging failing GoogleTest executions by addressing test interdependencies and runtime inconsistencies.
