Research study on CVS - you can help and get paid!

I am a Computer Science graduate student at the University of  
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I need your help in a study I want to  
conduct. I have created a project called LifeSource that visualizes  
CVS repositories. You can find screenshots and info here:

http://social.cs.uiuc.edu/people/gilbert (info on me)
http://social.cs.uiuc.edu/people/gilbert/research.html (info on  
LifeSource, the CVS project)

LifeSource appeared as a Work-in-Progress paper at ACM's CHI 2006 in  
Montreal (http://www.chi2006.org). I applied LifeSource to the  
Azureus and Gaim CVS repositories. I would like to apply the same  
visualization to your
project. Next, I want to see if you as the visualized community find  
it accurate, helpful, disturbing, etc.

In order to participate in the study, you will need to view the  
LifeSource visualization once a week (on the web) for four weeks and  
respond to two short online surveys.

You will receive a $20 gift certificate for your participation.

I can fully explain the process in the near future - just email me  
back. I will provide all of the information of the methodology of the  
study online. (We can set up a blog for study members to leave  
further comments.)

Please let me know what you think. I plan on using the study in a  
long paper to CHI 2007.

Ant build script for cppunit 1.9.14

I've just committed a Ant build script for cppunit to the ant-contrib 
project.  I'm intended to do this for a while to use cppunit as a 
sanity check for the cpp compilation tasks for Ant.  To use this 
script:

If necessary, install Ant 1.5 or later.  Can be downloaded from 
http://ant.apache.org and is included in many Linux distributions.
Download cpptasks 1.0 b2 from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36177
Copy cpptasks.jar to the lib directory of Ant or place cpptasks.jar in 
the classpath.
Download cppunit.ant from the ant-contrib CVS 
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ant-contrib/cpptasks/samples).  
Since it hasn't been reflected in the CVS mirror yet, it is also 
available at http://home.houston.rr.com/curta/ cppunit.ant.

The simplest way to use it is to rename it to build.xml and place it in 
the cppunit-1.9.14 directory of the cppunit 1.9.14 development or CVS 
snapshot.  If that is done, then

cd cppunit-1.9.14
ant test-all

will create a build subdirectory and build shared and static libraries, 
Qt runner (use test-all-but-qt to skip Qt build) build and run 
cppunittestmain, simple, money and hierarchy.

If not used placed within the cppunit-1.9.14 directory, then 
-Dbase.dir=path can be used to specify the path to the cppunit-1.9.14 
directory.

question about document generation

hello !

First of all, i want to congratulate you for CppUnit which is a great product !
I am using it everyday (work days and weekends ! and spread it out as much as i can ...

Now, comes my question :

I work in a company where paper and documentation is important :-\
I'll have to produce a document with the result of the test execution produced by CppUnit.
So, my objective is to produce the "test document" automatically with CppUnit.

The idea is the following :
- to be able to associate a documentation (objective of the test, kind of requirement, ...) with every test
- to be able to run the tests as usual, recording success, failures and errors
- to collect, for every test, the documentation and the result of the test.

The documentation could be a simple std::string associated with a test.
The formatting part of the document shouldn't be a problem either.
So the tricky part is to to be able to insert the documentation in CppUnit framework.


How would you do that ?
I don't see how to do that without modifying the core of CppUnit.
Do you think there is a simpler way ?


Thanks in advance for your answer ...

Cheers from Paris (France, not Texas !)

two testcases in one test runner

Hello, 

We used to use cppunit-1.0. Now we updated to cppunit-1.8.0. One problem we encounter is we couldn't run
more than one testcase suite with one TestRunner. The running results for both testcases are same (both
are from the first one). For example,

int main( int argc, char **argv)
{
  CppUnit::TextUi::TestRunner runner;
  runner.addTest( TestCaseI::suite() );
  runner.addTest( AnotherTestCase::suite() );
  runner.run();
  return 0;
}

We we execute TestRunner, the running result for TestCaseI is also the result for AnotherTestCase. 

Any suggestions on why? Appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Sun

CppUnit Cookbook / Fixture

Hi,

in the CppUnit Cookbook (http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cppunit_cookbook.html) sub-section
called "Fixture" in the third code sample you have this:

bool operator ==( const Complex &a, const Complex &b ) { return eq( a.real, b.real ) && eq( a.imaginary,
b.imaginary ); } 

Don't you need to define the eq() method before this will compile and run or am I missing something?

Regards,
Paul.

can Cppunit use in C program?
