SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Expert guidance for using the custom ctest.h unit testing framework. This lightweight C testing framework is NOT CMake's CTest. It helps you write, run, and debug C unit tests or integration tests with ctest.h by clarifying macros, test structure, and usage patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single-header library located at src/tests/ctest.h that provides CTEST and CTEST2 macros
  • Clear setup/teardown patterns with CTEST2 data blocks
  • Rich assertion macros like ASSERT_TRUE, ASSERT_NOT_NULL, etc., enabling robust tests
  • Guidance for debugging test failures and organizing tests by suites

Quick Start

Define tests with CTEST/CTEST2 and ASSERT_* macros to validate code quickly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a unit test in C using a single-header testing framework?

Setup and teardown in C testing are handled using CTEST2 data blocks, which provide clear patterns for initializing and cleaning up test environments to ensure deterministic and maintainable test execution.

Is ctest.h the same as CMake's CTest tool for C projects?

ctest.h is not CMake's CTest; it is a custom, lightweight single-header C unit testing framework that provides its own CTEST and CTEST2 macros for structuring and running tests independently of CMake.

How do I debug failing C unit tests that use ASSERT macros?

Debugging failing C unit tests involves reviewing the specific ASSERT_TRUE or ASSERT_NOT_NULL macro failures, organizing tests by suites, and verifying setup and teardown patterns to isolate deterministic test failures.

Can I organize C unit tests into suites using a lightweight single-header library?

Organizing C unit tests into suites is supported by the ctest.h single-header library, which allows developers to group CTEST and CTEST2 tests logically for maintainable and structured test execution.
