TinyTest Examples

This directory contains examples demonstrating how to use TinyTest in different build environments.

Available Examples

1. Standalone Example

Located in the standalone directory, this example demonstrates:

• How to use TinyTest in a standalone project with CMake's FetchContent
• No pre-installation required - TinyTest is automatically downloaded and built
• Testing multiple functions: arithmetic, string manipulation, prime checking
• Collecting and reporting test results

View the Standalone Example

2. Preinstalled Example

Located in the preinstalled directory, this example demonstrates:

• How to use TinyTest when it's installed on the system
• Using CMake's find_package to locate the TinyTest installation
• Testing a simple calculator application with exception handling
• The build script automatically installs TinyTest if it's not found

3. Sample Project

Located in the sample_project directory, this example demonstrates:

• A minimal example that tests a single function
• Complete build scripts for both Windows and Linux/macOS
• Clear structure for a small TinyTest project

Building the Examples

Each example includes its own build scripts and instructions. See the README.md file in each example directory for specific details.

Quick Start

# For the standalone example
cd standalone
chmod +x build.sh  # On Linux/macOS
./build.sh         # On Linux/macOS
build.bat          # On Windows

# For the preinstalled example
cd preinstalled
chmod +x build.sh  # On Linux/macOS
./build.sh         # On Linux/macOS
build.bat          # On Windows

# For the sample project
cd sample_project
chmod +x build.sh  # On Linux/macOS
./build.sh         # On Linux/macOS
build.bat          # On Windows

Choosing the Right Approach

• Standalone (FetchContent): Best for projects where you want to ensure everyone has the same version of TinyTest without requiring a separate installation step.

• Preinstalled (find_package): Best for larger projects or environments where TinyTest is a common dependency shared across multiple projects.

• Sample Project: Best for learning the basics of TinyTest with minimal complexity.
