- If you are reading this chapter, this means that the wide range of tools and
- interfaces covered in the previous sections are not sufficient for the testing
- scenario you have in mind. You are here to bend the <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit Test Framework</em></span>
- to your will and ... we are not going to stop you. Instead we'll try to guide
- you so that some dark corners do not look scary.
- </p>
- <p>
- In most cases the <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit Test Framework</em></span> is going to be supplied
- for you either as part of your system libraries or set of libraries used by
- your companies. Yet if you are facing the necessity to build your own static
- or dynamic library of the <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit Test Framework</em></span> or need
- to customize the build for any reason, section <a class="link" href="adv_scenarios/build_utf.html" title="Building the Unit Test Framework">Building
- the <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit Test Framework</em></span></a> covers all the necessary
- steps.
- </p>
- <p>
- To streamline the experience of setting up your test module, the <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit
- Test Framework</em></span> provides some default initialization logic for them.
- Usually the default test module initialization will work just fine, but if
- you want to implement some custom initialization or change how default initialization
- behaves you need to first look in <span class="bold"><strong>Test module initialization</strong></span>
- section. Here you'll learn about various options the <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit Test Framework</em></span>
- provides for you to customize this behavior.
- </p>
- <p>
- The part of the framework which loads, initializes and executed your test module
- is called the <span class="bold"><strong>Test Runner</strong></span>. Each usage variant
- comes with default test runner. If, instead, you prefer to implement your own
- entry point into the test module (for example if you need to implement the
- <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">main</span></code> function yourself and
- not use the one provided by the <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit Test Framework</em></span>, you
- need to learn about <span class="emphasis"><em>Unit Test Framework</em></span> interfaces involved
- in test runners operations. These are covered in the <span class="bold"><strong>Test
- runners</strong></span> section. Let me reiterate that you only need to this section
- if regular regular options for customization of initialization logic like
- <a class="link" href="tests_organization/fixtures.html" title="Fixtures">fixtures</a> or
- <a class="link" href="tests_organization/decorators.html" title="Decorators">decorators</a>
- are not sufficient for your purposes.
