Compiler/CODECOMPOSER: Unit testing with ccs 8.1

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Dear ti team and ti community,

I am currently using CCS 8.1 (since there are some hilightning issues in 8.2) and i am wondering if there is a possibillity to perform automated unit tests in this IDE.

As far as i evalueted there are following possibilities to test my C++ code:

- googletest/mock

- boost lib

- cppunit

- Parasoft

- VectorCast

- LDRA

I got the googletest-framework running and a test interface, but with an compiler from mingw or cygwin. I also tried the boost lib but it seems, that the TI v18 compiler isnt able to include the lib atomic.cpp. I dont want to use cpp unit, because of its old release date. Also i dont want to spend much money on plugins. I searched all the former threads regarding unit testing and i am wondering what are the recommendations for unittesting in 2018? Is there a possibility to perform unit tests with an open framework? Has anyone experience with the listed tools? How good is the integration into the eclipse based CSS IDE?

- regards L.Thumfart

  • Hello,
    I personally don't have much experience with the above tools but I have heard good things about Parasoft, VectorCast, and LDRA.

    I know that Parasoft has done validation with CCS in the past.

    Hopefully others can chime in with their experiences.

    Thanks
    ki
