# C++ Testing (Agent Skill)
Agent-focused testing workflow for modern C++ (C++17/20) using GoogleTest/GoogleMock with CMake/CTest.
## When to Use
- Writing new C++ tests or fixing existing tests
- Designing unit/integration test coverage for C++ components
- Adding test coverage, CI gating, or regression protection
- Configuring CMake/CTest workflows for consistent execution
- Investigating test failures or flaky behavior
- Enabling sanitizers for memory/race diagnostics
### When NOT to Use
- Implementing new product features without test changes
- Large-scale refactors unrelated to test coverage or failures
- Performance tuning without test regressions to validate
- Non-C++ projects or non-test tasks
## Core Concepts
- **TDD loop**: red → green → refactor (tests first, minimal fix, then cleanups).
- **Isolation**: prefer dependency injection and fakes over global state.
- **Test layout**: `tests/unit`, `tests/integration`, `tests/testdata`.
- **Mocks vs fakes**: mock for interactions, fake for stateful behavior.
- **CTest discovery**: use `gtest_discover_tests()` for stable test discovery.
- **CI signal**: run subset first, then full suite with `--output-on-failure`.
## TDD Workflow
Follow the RED → GREEN → REFACTOR loop:
1. **RED**: write a failing test that captures the new behavior
2. **GREEN**: implement the smallest change to pass
3. **REFACTOR**: clean up while tests stay green
```cpp
// tests/add_test.cpp
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
int Add(int a, int b); // Provided by production code.
TEST(AddTest, AddsTwoNumbers) { // RED
EXPECT_EQ(Add(2, 3), 5);
}
// src/add.cpp
int Add(int a, int b) { // GREEN
return a + b;
}
// REFACTOR: simplify/rename once tests pass
```
## Code Examples
### Basic Unit Test (gtest)
```cpp
// tests/calculator_test.cpp
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
int Add(int a, int b); // Provided by production code.
TEST(CalculatorTest, AddsTwoNumbers) {
EXPECT_EQ(Add(2, 3), 5);
}
```
### Fixture (gtest)
```cpp
// tests/user_store_test.cpp
// Pseudocode stub: replace UserStore/User with project types.
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
#include <memory>
#include <optional>
#include <string>
struct User { std::string name; };
class UserStore {
public:
explicit UserStore(std::string /*path*/) {}
void Seed(std::initializer_list<User> /*users*/) {}
std::optional<User> Find(const std::string &/*name*/) { return User{"alice"}; }
};
class UserStoreTest : public ::testing::Test {
protected:
void SetUp() override {
store = std::make_unique<UserStore>(":memory:");
store->Seed({{"alice"}, {"bob"}});
}
std::unique_ptr<UserStore> store;
};
TEST_F(UserStoreTest, FindsExistingUser) {
auto user = store->Find("alice");
ASSERT_TRUE(user.has_value());
EXPECT_EQ(user->name, "alice");
}
```
### Mock (gmock)
```cpp
// tests/notifier_test.cpp
#include <gmock/gmock.h>
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
#include <string>
class Notifier {
public:
virtual ~Notifier() = default;
virtual void Send(const std::string &message) = 0;
};
class MockNotifier : public Notifier {
public:
MOCK_METHOD(void, Send, (const std::string &message), (override));
};
class Service {
public:
explicit Service(Notifier &notifier) : notifier_(notifier) {}
void Publish(const std::string &message) { notifier_.Send(message); }
private:
Notifier &notifier_;
};
TEST(ServiceTest, SendsNotifications) {
MockNotifier notifier;
Service service(notifier);
EXPECT_CALL(notifier, Send("hello")).Times(1);
service.Publish("hello");
}
```
### CMake/CTest Quickstart
```cmake
# CMakeLists.txt (excerpt)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20)
project(example LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
include(FetchContent)
# Prefer project-locked versions. If using a tag, use a pinned version per project policy.
set(GTEST_VERSION v1.17.0) # Adjust to project policy.
FetchContent_Declare(
googletest
URL https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/refs/tags/${GTEST_VERSION}.zip
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest)
add_executable(example_tests
tests/calculator_test.cpp
src/calculator.cpp
)
target_link_libraries(example_tests GTest::gtest GTest::gmock GTest::gtest_main)
enable_testing()
include(GoogleTest)
gtest_discover_tests(example_tests)
```
```bash
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build -j
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
```
## Running Tests
```bash
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
ctest --test-dir build -R ClampTest
ctest --test-dir build -R "UserStoreTest.*" --output-on-failure
```
```bash
./build/example_tests --gtest_filter=ClampTest.*
./build/example_tests --gtest_filter=UserStoreTest.FindsExistingUser
```
## Debugging Failures
1. Re-run the single failing test with gtest filter.
2. Add scoped logging around the failing assertion.
3. Re-run with sanitizers enabled.
4. Expand to full suite once the root cause is fixed.
## Coverage
Prefer target-level settings instead of global flags.
```cmake
option(ENABLE_COVERAGE "Enable coverage flags" OFF)
if(ENABLE_COVERAGE)
if(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID MATCHES "GNU")
target_compile_options(example_tests PRIVATE --coverage)
target_link_options(example_tests PRIVATE --coverage)
elseif(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID MATCHES "Clang")
target_compile_options(example_tests PRIVATE -fprofile-instr-generate -fcoverage-mapping)
target_link_options(example_tests PRIVATE -fprofile-instr-generate)
endif()
endif()
```
GCC + gcov + lcov:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build-cov -DENABLE_COVERAGE=ON
cmake --build build-cov -j
ctest --test-dir build-cov
lcov --capture --directory build-cov --output-file coverage.info
lcov --remove coverage.info '/usr/*' --output-file coverage.info
genhtml coverage.info --output-directory coverage
```
Clang + llvm-cov:
```bash
cmake -S . -B build-llvm -DENABLE_COVERAGE=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
cmake --build build-llvm -j
LLVM_PROFILE_FILE="build-llvm/default.profraw" ctest --test-dir build-llvm
llvm-profdata merge -sparse build-llvm/default.profraw -o build-llvm/default.profdata
llvm-cov report build-llvm/example_tests -instr-profile=build-llvm/default.profdata
```
## Sanitizers
```cmake
option(ENABLE_ASAN "Enable AddressSanitizer" OFF)
option(ENABLE_UBSAN "Enable UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer" OFF)
option(ENABLE_TSAN "Enable ThreadSanitizer" OFF)
if(ENABLE_ASAN)
add_compile_options(-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer)
add_link_options(-fsanitize=address)
endif()
if(ENABLE_UBSAN)
add_compile_options(-fsanitize=undefined -fno-omit-frame-pointer)
add_link_options(-fsanitize=undefined)
endif()
if(ENABLE_TSAN)
add_compile_options(-fsanitize=thread)
add_link_options(-fsanitize=thread)
endif()
```
## Flaky Tests Guardrails
- Never use `sleep` for synchronization; use condition variables or latches.
- Make temp directories unique per test and always clean them.
- Avoid real time, network, or filesystem dependencies in unit tests.
- Use deterministic seeds for randomized inputs.
## Best Practices
### DO
- Keep tests deterministic and isolated
- Prefer dependency injection over globals
- Use `ASSERT_*` for preconditions, `EXPECT_*` for multiple checks
- Separate unit vs integration tests in CTest labels or directories
- Run sanitizers in CI for memory and race detection
### DON'T
- Don't depend on real time or network in unit tests
- Don't use sleeps as synchronization when a condition variable can be used
- Don't over-mock simple value objects
- Don't use brittle string matching for non-critical logs
### Common Pitfalls
- **Using fixed temp paths** → Generate unique temp directories per test and clean them.
- **Relying on wall clock time** → Inject a clock or use fake time sources.
- **Flaky concurrency tests** → Use condition variables/latches and bounded waits.
- **Hidden global state** → Reset global state in fixtures or remove globals.
- **Over-mocking** → Prefer fakes for stateful behavior and only mock interactions.
- **Missing sanitizer runs** → Add ASan/UBSan/TSan builds in CI.
- **Coverage on debug-only builds** → Ensure coverage targets use consistent flags.
## Optional Appendix: Fuzzing / Property Testing
Only use if the project already supports LLVM/libFuzzer or a property-testing library.
- **libFuzzer**: best for pure functions with minimal I/O.
- **RapidCheck**: property-based tests to validate invariants.
Minimal libFuzzer harness (pseudocode: replace ParseConfig):
```cpp
#include <cstddef>
#include <cstdint>
#include <string>
extern "C" int LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput(const uint8_t *data, size_t size) {
std::string input(reinterpret_cast<const char *>(data), size);
// ParseConfig(input); // project function
return 0;
}
```
## Alternatives to GoogleTest
- **Catch2**: header-only, expressive matchers
- **doctest**: lightweight, minimal compile overhead
