CATSRunner 20050922

CATSRunner is a unit testing framework.
C Automated Testing System (CATS) and its associated test runner (Catsrunner) implement a unit testing framework that provides developers of C-based systems, including embedded systems, the capability to use the popular test driven development approach.
CATS supports embedded cross-platform development by working in conjunction with hardware abstraction layers. CATS also comes with a thin wrapper around arm-elf-gdbs host/target communication functions.
A reference implementation for the ARM-7 CPU core is provided.
Main features:
- Catsrunner was built from the ground up for cross-platform embedded software development.
- Its all written in ANSI C (yes, C++ can do more, but many embedded teams are using C).
- This software is actively maintained - we at Agile Rules built it for our own use.
- Its easy to add new target platforms. It builds now for PC and for ARM Evaluator7T board.
- Catsrunner supports Test Driven Development (and Behavior Driven Development).
- Catsrunner has been tested from its inception on real embedded hardware.
- Its been released under the GPL as open source software
Includes:
- CATS and Catsrunner
- Several other software modules that provide facilities often needed for embedded software development, and abstract hardware to aid easy porting to different architectures.
- A build framework capable of building all of the software in the distribution on different platforms.
- A sample application (appexample) using many of the modules as an example of how the software in the framework fits together.
- A template application (apptemplate), mostly empty, to use as a starting point for new applications added to the framework.
- Unit tests for all included modules and applications
