Summary:
Ran 2 test(s).
1 passed, 1 failed, 0 pending
Makefile:48: recipe for target 'readme_test' failed
make: *** [readme_test] Error 1```
- BDD-style xUnit framework
- Extensible matchers
- Extensible formatting
- No global state.
- Self-tested. No additional frameworks.
- No magic.
- Should be useable in isolated unit tests and also in integrated system tests.
- Ability to custom matchers
- Ability to create custom formatters
- Dot formatting by default
- Individual test failure detailed reporting in summary
- test-anything-protocol output formatter
- make Makefile more idiomatic
- matchers for all standard C primative data types
- colorized output for dot formatter
- report only one passing test per test function.
