The cpputest-for-qpcpp project enables CppUTest for the
QP/C++ Real-Time Embedded Framework, and is maintained in a separate repository.
This particular repository holds a top-level example project showing one possible method
for importing the separate library project and one or more example active objects under test.
For more details, please see https://github.com/covemountainsoftware/cpputest-for-qpcpp
This project was developed and proven in Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04. In theory any build or host operating system environment supported by CppUTest will be compatible with this code.
- CMake and associated build tools were used to develop and prove out this project.
- cpputest-for-qpcpp library, pulled in as a separate git submodule
- qpcpp (pulled in as a separate git submodule)
- After cloning this repository, do not forget to:
git submodule initgit submodule update
- CppUTest (version 3.8-7 or version 4.0) (3.8 is the default in Ubuntu 20.04 while 4.0 is the default in Ubuntu 22.04)
- This project requires support for C++14 and C11.
This project has configured GitHub Actions to build and execute all unit tests found in this project. This is an example of one of the key benefits of host-based testing of embedded software.
See the configuration at: .github/workflows/cmake.yml

This project is a top-level example project which utilizes cpputest-for-qpcpp.
See https://github.com/covemountainsoftware/cpputest-for-qpcpp
This project is the QP/C port of an earlier equivalent effort for QP/C++.
See cpputest-for-qpcpp at: https://github.com/covemountainsoftware/cpputest-for-qpcpp
This project was also inspired by a non-qpc example, see this blog post: https://covemountainsoftware.com/2020/04/17/unit-testing-active-objects-and-state-machines/
