Assignment 9

• Due: Monday November 17, 23:00 through WebCT
• Goals:
  1. (Automated) Testing.
• Details:
  1. This continues to build on previous assignments. For this assignment, you are to write fully automated (unit) tests for your producer and consumer module(s) and all their exported functions.
  3. The project description along with previous assignements provide all the necessary information you need to complete this assignment successfully.
  4. For creating unit tests, I highly recommend that you use CuTest 1.4, although this is not manditory. You can take a look at the CuTest home page for more details.
  5. You need to create a suite of tests for each consumer (and each producer) that test that their behaviour is as intended. It is expected that, as covered in class, you will need to create both stub functions and driver functions (see the courseware for a reminder) to help test your functions. You should test average cases as well as border cases (ie things like a demand much higher than the maximal possible production, negative numbers where positive ones are expected, etc). You must mimick CuTest's output; looks at its README file for many more details.
  6. It is expected that you will produce approximately 30 tests per consumer and 20 tests per producer (the consumers are more complex, needing more testing). Of course some thinking (and then intelligent coding) is needed to ensure that this number of tests is reasonable to do instead of an insane amount. Taking a cue from the provided (partial) solution to assignemnt 7 should help.
  7. I have created a minimal test and a medium sized test from the ones provided in CuTest to show how to use it. To compile the first example, I used
     gcc -Wall -pedantic -o aaa a09ex_mini.c CuTest.c
     which produced an aaa.exe executable (runnable from the command line).
  8. You can find a partial solution to assignment #7 on the assignment 7 web page .
• Deliverables:
  1. One zip file "MUSS ID".zip containing a set of .c files, one for each consumer and producer module(s), as well as the complete contents of assignment 7.
  2. A plain text file, log.txt, containing a log of what you did; most important for this assignment is logging all conversations (or lack thereof) about this assignment you had with other students, TAs, the prof, etc.
