Description
It is often useful to run a suite of tests multiple times, varying one or more parameters.
GTest supports this through value-parameterized tests.
For example:
class FixtureClass : TestWithParam<int> {
|
};
|
|
TEST_P(FixtureClass, TestThatUsesParameterizedFixture) {
|
int param = GetParam();
|
// ... do a test using the given parameter
|
}
|
|
|
TEST_P(FixtureClass, AnotherTestThatUsesParameterizedFixture) {...}
|
|
|
INSTANTIATE_TEST_SUITE_P(SomeUniquePrefix, FixtureClass, Values(1, 2, 3, 4))
|
Such functionality would be a useful addition to the unittest framework, as it does not appear to currently be supported.
To explore the viability of adding this to the framework, I've created a proof of concept: github.
