## Detailed Description

template<class Fixture>
class TestCaller< Fixture >

Generate a test case from a fixture method.

A test caller provides access to a test case method on a test fixture class. Test callers are useful when you want to run an individual test or add it to a suite. Test Callers invoke only one Test (i.e. test method) on one Fixture of a TestFixture.

Here is an example:

class MathTest : public CppUnit::TestFixture {
...
public:
void setUp();
void tearDown();
void testAdd();
void testSubtract();
};
CppUnit::Test *MathTest::suite() {
CppUnit::TestSuite *suite = new CppUnit::TestSuite;
suite->addTest( new CppUnit::TestCaller<MathTest>( "testAdd", testAdd ) );
return suite;
}

You can use a TestCaller to bind any test method on a TestFixture class, as long as it accepts void and returns void.

typedef void(Fixture::* TestCaller< Fixture >::TestMethod) ()
| private

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ TestCaller() [1/5]

template<class Fixture >

TestCaller< Fixture >::TestCaller | ( | std::string | name,
|  | TestMethod | test )
| inline

Constructor for TestCaller. This constructor builds a new Fixture instance owned by the TestCaller.

Parameters

  name | name of this TestCaller
  test | the method this TestCaller calls in runTest()

## ◆ TestCaller() [2/5]

template<class Fixture >

TestCaller< Fixture >::TestCaller | ( | std::string | name,
|  | TestMethod | test,
|  | Fixture & | fixture )
| inline

Constructor for TestCaller. This constructor does not create a new Fixture instance but accepts an existing one as parameter. The TestCaller will not own the Fixture object.

Parameters

  name | name of this TestCaller
  test | the method this TestCaller calls in runTest()
  fixture | the Fixture to invoke the test method on.

## ◆ TestCaller() [3/5]

template<class Fixture >

TestCaller< Fixture >::TestCaller | ( | std::string | name,
|  | TestMethod | test,
|  | Fixture * | fixture )
| inline

Constructor for TestCaller. This constructor does not create a new Fixture instance but accepts an existing one as parameter. The TestCaller will own the Fixture object and delete it in its destructor.

Parameters

  name | name of this TestCaller
  test | the method this TestCaller calls in runTest()
  fixture | the Fixture to invoke the test method on.

## ◆ TestCaller() [4/5]

| inline virtual

FIXME: this should probably be pure virtual.

All the work for runTest is deferred to subclasses.

Reimplemented from TestCase.

## ◆ setUp()

void TestCaller< Fixture >::setUp | ( |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Set up context before running a test.

Reimplemented from TestFixture.

## ◆ tearDown()

template<class Fixture >

void TestCaller< Fixture >::tearDown | ( |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Clean up after the test run.

Reimplemented from TestFixture.
