Name

TestRunner

Description

The class TestRunner (see Figure C-28) provides the user interface to run tests and output the results. CppUnit includes three versions of TestRunner: a text version, a Qt GUI version, and an MFC GUI version. The text version is summarized here, since it is the most generic. The usage of the other two versions is similar.

The code sample below demonstrates using TestRunner to run BookTest and print the results. A TestSuite containing multiple Test objects can be run the same way.

TestRunner runner;
runner.addTest( BookTest );
runner.run( );

The text TestRunner belongs to the namespace CppUnit::TextUi. It is declared in the file ui/text/TestRunner.h and implemented in the file TestRunner.cpp.
