Description

This class collects and combines the results of the test unit during the execution of the test tree. The results_collector_t::results() function combines the test results on a subtree of the test tree.

results_collector_t public member functions

  1. virtual void test_start(counter_t);
    Called before the framework starts executing the test cases.

  2. virtual void test_unit_start(test_unit const &);
    Called before the framework starts executing a test unit.

  3. virtual void test_unit_finish(test_unit const &, unsigned long);
    Called at each end of a test unit.

  4. virtual void test_unit_skipped(test_unit const &, const_string);
  5. virtual void test_unit_aborted(test_unit const &);
    Called when a test unit indicates a fatal error.

    A fatal error happens when

    • a strong assertion (with REQUIRE) fails, which indicates that the test case cannot continue

    • an unexpected exception is caught by the Boost.Test framework

  6. virtual void assertion_result(unit_test::assertion_result);
  7. virtual void exception_caught(execution_exception const &);
    Called when an exception is intercepted.

    In case an exception is intercepted, this call happens before the call to test_unit_aborted in order to log additional data about the exception.

  8. virtual int priority();
  9. test_results const & results(test_unit_id tu_id) const;
    Results access per test unit.

    Parameters:

    tu_id

    id of a test unit

  10. virtual void test_finish();
    Called after the framework ends executing the test cases.
    [Note] Note

    The call is made with a reversed priority order.

  11. virtual void test_aborted();
    Called when a critical error is detected.

    The critical errors are mainly the signals sent by the system and caught by the Boost.Test framework. Since the running binary may be in incoherent/instable state, the test execution is aborted and all remaining tests are discarded.

    [Note] Note

    may be called before test_observer::test_unit_finish()

  12. virtual void test_unit_skipped(test_unit const &);
    backward compatibility

results_collector_t protected member functions

  1. virtual void assertion_result(bool);
    Deprecated.
