You probably got this package from... http://cgreen.sourceforge.net/projects/cgreen/

If there is no licence agreement with this package please download a version from the location above. You must read and accept that licence to use this software. The file is titled simply LICENSE.

What is it? It's a framework for unit testing, written in C. A tool for C developers writing tests of their own code.

If you have used JUnit, or any of the xUnit clones, you will find the concept familiar. In particular the tool supports a range of assertions, composable test suites and setup/teardown facilities. Because of the peculiarities of C programming, each test function is normally run in it's own process.

This project is very close in scope to the "Check" unit tester and was influenced by it... http://check.sourceforge.net/projects/check/

The main difference from this tool and other xUnit tools, such as "Check", is that test results are not stored. Instead they are streamed to the reporter psuedo-class, one that is easily overridden by the end user.

The other main extra feature is the support for writing mock callbacks. This includes generating sequences for return values or parameter expectations.

If you want to install CGreen and have a play, just run "make" from the top level directory. CGreen uses CMake and I'm afraid I am no expert with this tool. There may well be teething problems. Please read the INSTALL file for more information and alternate ways to build.

This project would not have happened without the generous financial support of the Wordtracker keyword tool... http://www.wordtracker.com/

This tool is basically a spin off from a research project at Wordtracker.
