Testing Frameworks — PlatformIO latest documentation (original) (raw)
PlatformIO supports the most popular testing frameworks and allows you to easily switch between them using the test_frameworkoption in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).
You can mix different frameworks in the same project. For example, use a more advanced C++ testing framework with Mocks for the Nativedevelopment platform to run desktop tests on a host machine and a lightweight framework, such as Unity, for running tests on the target embedded device with constrained resources.
Compatibility
| Framework | Test Types | Development Platforms | Mocking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doctest | Native | Native | No |
| GoogleTest | Any | Native, Espressif 8266,Espressif 32 | Yes |
| Unity | Any | Any | No |
Tip
We highly recommend using the Unity testing framework if you plan to run tests on the target devices with constrained resources. The Unity has minimal requirements and works even on the 8-bit AVR MCUs.
