Description
The abstract class Test (see Figure C-16) is the central design element of CppUnit, as in other versions of xUnit. It is the base class for all test objects. A Test may consist of a single unit test or of a collection of Test s. When a Test is run, a TestResult collects its results.
All of Test 's methods are virtual and should be overridden by descendant classes.
Test belongs to the namespace CppUnit . It is declared in Test.h and implemented in Test.cpp .
