Project 4: Testing & Actions

Project 4: Testing & Actions Posted: Mar 21

Project 4 is due by Midnight on Friday Apr 5

Implement the following for the Makefile repository in the new branch actions:

Part A: Create a testsuite:

• Must be in the test directory testsuite
• Must have a separate CMakeLists.txt in the test directory (linked into the main CMakeLists.txt)
• Must have at least 5 tests. They can be shell scripts, or executable programs.
• Must be able to be run via ctest
• All tests must pass

Part B: Create a GitHub Action workflow to build and run tests:

• Triggered manually at GitHub
• Produces a downloaded test report and other artifacts
• Works on both Ubuntu and macOS. Should be easily adaptable to Windows also.
• Must use at least cmake 3.28

As with all topics in this class, an iterative process of a small edit followed by build and test is core to DevOps (in general, not just this class). Failure to do so on this project will lead to a lower score.
