Version 3.3.0 is a new release, adding a TAP reporter.

The µTest++ Testing Framework project is a C++ source code library that provides a lightweight testing framework specifically designed for embedded systems.

Prerequisites​

When installed via xpm, this project requires the xPack Prerequisites.

However, like any source code library, this project can also be integrated into another project in the traditional manner, either by copying the relevant files into the target project or by linking the entire project as a Git submodule.

Installation​

The most straightforward method to incorporate the @micro-os-plus/micro-test-plus package into a project is to declare it as a dependency using xpm.

xpm install @micro-os-plus/micro-test-plus@3.3.0 -verbose

Comprehensive instructions are available in the Install Guide.

Major changes​

TAP stands for Test Anything Protocol. It is a simple text-based interface between testing modules in a test harness, decoupling the reporting of errors from the presentation of the results.

The output is also relatively easy to read by humans; it looks like:

TAP version 14
# Subtest: Minimal
    # Subtest: Check truth
        ok 1 - true
        1..1
    ok 1 - Check truth # { test case passed, 1 check }
    1..1
ok 1 - Minimal # { test suite passed, 1 check in 1 test case, time: 0.007 ms }
1..1
# { total: 1 check passed, 0 failed, in 1 test case, 1 test suite, time: 0.030 ms }
