CATSRunner is a framework designed for unit testing.
CATSRunner is a reliable and feature-rich unit testing framework that caters to developers of C-based systems, including embedded systems. Developed by Agile Rules, this software offers an easy-to-use and widely popular test driven development approach that many embedded teams prefer.
Catsrunner has been developed from scratch for easy integration with cross-platform embedded software development. It is written in ANSI C, which is widely favoured by embedded teams. Owing to its active maintenance, embedded developers can be assured that they will have access to the most advanced features that will enable them to carry out unit testing seamlessly.
The good news is that Catsrunner is incredibly flexible, and adding new target platforms is a breeze. It builds for both PC and ARM Evaluator7T board, significantly reducing the amount of time developers have to spend connecting hardware. As an open-source software under the GPL, this framework comes with several software modules that will serve the needs of developers.
It has a modular approach, including CATS and Catsrunner and other software modules that provide facilities for embedded software development, abstract hardware to aid easy porting to various architectures. Additionally, it boasts of a build framework, a sample application called appexample, which illustrates how the software fits together, and a template application called apptemplate for developing new applications.
Catsrunner's inbuild support for Test Driven Development (and Behavior Driven Development) ensures that you can run unit tests on real embedded hardware, offering a practical approach to testing. With its simple and straightforward user interface, embedded developers can save valuable programming time while ensuring their files are error-free.
To use CATSRunner, you will need Linux, UNIX, or other POSIX operating systems. This software also requires a GNU toolchain, including binutils (tested with binutils-2.15), gcc (tested with gcc-3.3.5), gdb (tested with gdb-6.0), newlib (tested with newlib-1.12.0) and make. It should work with gcc 3.3.5 and later toolchains.
In conclusion, Catsrunner is a powerful tool that simplifies unit testing of C-based systems, including embedded systems, ensuring better code quality and smoother software development.
