Unit Testing framework for Embedded platform in C++?

Question

I am working on an embedded systems project using ACE Framework and all the development is done using eclipse IDE. I am looking for a good testing framework. Basically the project involves parsing of incoming data and I am searching for a unit testing framework which suits my project. What are my options here?

I recommend you try out Catch or doctest, which are quite similar.

My team has Cath2 working on a STM32 discovery (Cortex M-4), so this is a possible choice indeed.

Testing doctest for STM32 (m4)

@Bktero I checked the feature list for Catch, and it doesn't mention mock support or embedded support. How does it work with STM32 in your experience -- compiling for Linux and running there, or compiling to run on the STM32 device?

@CivFan that was a long time ago, I'm sure if I remember all this! Indeed, Catch2 doesn't have support for mock objects. It doesn't need anything special for "embedded support". From what I recall, you can do something like this:

#define CATCH_CONFIG_RUNNER Catch::Session session; session.configData().testsOrTags.emplace_back("[some tag]"); session.run();

The test results will be printed to stdout.

More general thing.

According to its website, ceedling doesn't support C++

@volpato, yes, it supports C.

I recommend using this light-weight unit testing framework designed for embedded software use with C++ that I created: https://github.com/Novodes/SimpleTest-EmbeddedSafety/

It was tested with ARM Compiler version 6.6.4 and 6.6. There are just two files: simpletest.cpp and simpletest.h

This is based on the SimpleTest repository I forked and adapted for embedded software. It is super easy to use and integrate into your code.
