Unit Test Notes
-
During development run tests with --random flag so that we can easily catch resource outage or ordering issues in tests e.g.
aprapipesut.exe -t h264encodernvcodec_tests --random. Many many times one test fails because another test leaves a garbage and we do not come to know until they are run in sequence. However even after running them in sequence many issues remain hidden so a good practice is to run tests in random order. Ideally we should run CI build with random test order after we gain some more confidence. -
Put deliberate effort to refacotr test code to follow DRY principle. else test code becomes too much and too repetitive to follow or understand.
-
Also split tests into "setup" "run" and "teardown". The tests with same/similar setup should be lumped togather and reuse the setup and tear down.
