Improve how testing is done #76

Open Martinsos opened 7 years ago

Martinsos commented 7 years ago

I have wrote my own e2e tests, using no framework. I should use some framework to make this nicer! Also, I should add unit tests. Although, we may consider these e2e test to also be unit tests since they are testing the main function hm.

I'd be happy to write some more unit tests for this if you want.

Hi @drmorr0, thanks for offering! What I was actually hoping to do is use an actual testing framework, like gtest or catch (https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2). I have yet to figure out which one of them is best and set it up. If you any recommendations I would be happy to hear them out! What I am also missing is tests for Python, so I could also use some assistance with that. Main limit on my side is time -> not enough of it for everything :).

I've used unittest++ in the past for C++ projects, it works pretty well, but Catch2 looks really interesting too. py.test works great for Python testing.

I'm on vacation for the next week; when I get back I'll investigate this further.
