| 3 | NFD requires unit testing for most modules. |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 2 | Junxiao Shi | NFD uses [Boost Unit Test Framework](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html). |

| 7 | ## Learning Resources for Boost Unit Test Framework |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | 2 | Junxiao Shi | * [Boost Unit Test Framework documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html) |
| 10 | 1 | Junxiao Shi | * After compiling the unit-test binary, it is possible at run time to select which tests to run and what kind of output is desired. |
| 11 | Use `--help` command line option to get more information about the available options. |

| 13 | ## Testing Code Guidelines |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | * Test suites should be defined inside `nfd::tests` namespace. |
||
| 16 | * Test suites should use `nfd::tests::BaseFixture` fixture, to get automatic setup and teardown of global `io_service`. |
||
| 17 | * If a custom fixture is defined for test case or test case, that custom fixture should derive from `BaseFixture`. |
||

| 19 | ## Testing Helpers |
||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | * `tests/core/limited-io.hpp` provides operation count and time limit |
||
| 22 | 4 | Junxiao Shi | * `tests/daemon/face/dummy-face.hpp` provides a `Face` that doesn't depend on a socket |
| 23 | * `tests/daemon/fw/strategy-tester.hpp` provides a facade to test a forwarding strategy |
