Testing Setup

Python Test Dependencies

Our test suite requires some Python dependencies for comprehensive testing. Here's how to set them up:

🚀 Quick Setup


    # Create virtual environment
    python3 -m venv .venv
    

    # Activate virtual environment
    source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
    # OR
    .venv\Scripts\activate     # Windows
    

    # Install test dependencies
    pip install -r tests/data/requirements.txt

📋 Required Dependencies

pyzmq - Python ZeroMQ bindings for testing messaging functionality

⚠️ Important Notes

Virtual environment must be activated before running tests
Dependencies are automatically detected by the test suite
Deactivate with deactivate when done

Build Targets

One Command, Multiple Possibilities

Target	🚀 Command	📋 Description
all	`cmake --build .`	Builds the complete project with all components
coverage	`cmake --build . --target coverage`	Generates comprehensive test coverage reports
docs	`cmake --build . --target docs`	Creates beautiful documentation with Doxygen
dependency-graph	`cmake --build . --target dependency-graph`	Visualizes project dependencies with GraphViz
package	`cmake --build . --target package`	Creates distribution packages (DEB/RPM + systemd service)
test	`ctest . --parallel`	Runs the complete test suite with GoogleTest

💡 Pro Tips:

For packages, specify your preferred format with -DCPACK_GENERATOR="DEB" or "RPM"

Ensure Python virtual environment is activated before running tests!

Build Options

Customize your build with powerful CMake configuration options

💡 Important: Re-run CMake configuration (cmake -B build) after changing any options

🧪 Testing & Quality Assurance

Option	Description	Default	🎯 Use Case
`XXX_BUILD_TESTS`	🔧 Build all test suites	`ON`	Complete testing pipeline
`XXX_BUILD_UNITTESTS`	✅ Build unit tests only	`ON`	Fast development feedback
`XXX_BUILD_FUZZTESTS`	🎲 Build fuzz testing suite	`OFF`	Security & robustness testing
`XXX_ENABLE_COVERAGE`	📊 Generate test coverage reports	`OFF`	Code quality metrics
`XXX_ENABLE_MEMLEAK_CHECK`	🔍 Memory leak detection with MemPlumber	`OFF`	Debug memory issues

🚀 Release & Distribution

Option	Description	Default	🎯 Use Case
`XXX_ENABLE_SYMBOL_GENERATION`	🔧 Generate debug symbols for crash dumps	`OFF`	Production debugging
`XXX_ENABLE_PACKAGING`	📦 Enable DEB/RPM packaging with systemd	`OFF`	Distribution & deployment

💡 Quick Examples

# Development build with all tests
cmake -B build -DXXX_BUILD_TESTS=ON \
                -DXXX_ENABLE_COVERAGE=ON


# Production build with packaging
cmake -B build -DXXX_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
                -DXXX_ENABLE_PACKAGING=ON \
                -DXXX_ENABLE_SYMBOL_GENERATION=ON


# Security testing build
cmake -B build -DXXX_BUILD_FUZZTESTS=ON \
                -DXXX_ENABLE_MEMLEAK_CHECK=ON


# Minimal build (fastest)
cmake -B build -DXXX_BUILD_TESTS=OFF

⚡ Pro Tips

🏃 Fast Iteration: Disable tests for quick builds during development
🔒 Security Focus: Enable fuzz tests and memory checks for critical code
📈 CI/CD: Use coverage reports in your automated pipelines
🚀 Production: Always enable symbol generation for crash analysis
