TestX

A test generation framework which uses gcov to produce data structures that can be used to test long files of code. Current support includes generation framework for 3 data structures: linked-lists, graphs, trie.

A basic class diagram representing the framework

How to run the application:

1. In test generators folder run:

make

You will see a libtg.a library being made after running this command.

2. Go to the datastructures directory and locate the data structure you will like to generate.
   2.1. Insert the function to be tested in user_function.cpp; it must follow the pattern of parameters already specified in the file.
   2.2. Use makefile again:

make

You will see random data structures being generated until threshold 80% line coverage is met. These data structures are auto stored within tests directory under testcases/ in json format.

3. Go to the test directory within the [data structure] directory itself and again use:

make

It will auto read the testcases previosuly generated and test the cases in your function to generate a gcov report of line and branch coverage.

4. To see the gcov report use the following commands:

gcov ../user_function.cpp
cat user_function.cpp.gcov

4. If you wish to test another function, first cleanup from the data-structures directory and also the test directory, it will auto remove the compiled files and the reports generated.:

make clean
