Has no-one created unit tests for OpenFOAM with mocks?

Kojirion · July 31, 2015, 06:33

Hello,

my supervisor and I are writing a library to extend twoPhaseEulerFoam and we have a suite of unit tests for our classes. One of the trickiest bits has been handling depencencies to OpenFOAM classes, in particular as several of them appear to require a mesh to be constructed.

So far we have managed by separating some of the classes that interact with OF with some of those that do our calculations (so the latter are testable). But we believe the 'proper' design would be to have mocks of OF; as far as I can tell, such do not exist.
Is this correct? Might start writing mocks in time, but would like to make sure this would not be duplicating any effort.

I don't have an answer, but am interested. Do you have your test code up somewhere? I need some inspiration for how to start writing and running unit tests.

Not yet, we aim to put it on a public repository within the next month.
