Testing Command-Line Calculator Operations in cover-agent

This test suite validates basic arithmetic operations using a command-line calculator implementation in C. The tests utilize the Unity testing framework to verify addition functionality with proper error handling and status codes.

Test Coverage Overview

The test coverage focuses on validating the calculator’s addition operation with specific numeric inputs.

  • Tests basic addition with positive integers (5 + 3)
  • Verifies both the calculation result and status code
  • Handles command-line style operation flags (–add)

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach employs Unity’s assertion framework for C to validate both computational accuracy and error handling.

  • Uses TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_INT for precise integer comparison
  • Implements dual verification of result and status
  • Follows command-line argument parsing patterns

Technical Details

  • Unity testing framework for C
  • Double precision floating-point calculations
  • Status code validation
  • Command-line argument simulation
  • Integer-based assertions

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test implementation showcases clean C testing practices with clear separation of concerns.

  • Explicit status code checking
  • Proper function parameter handling
  • Clear test case naming conventions
  • Structured assertion organization
