Re: Add a testing framework

For example:

Every directory that contains code has a corresponding test directory
contains its test case.
For example:
class fb_AlignmentTest: public CppUnit::TestFixture
{
public:
    CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE(fb_AlignmentTest);
    CPPUNIT_TEST(testInitialize );
    CPPUNIT_TEST(testGetStartPosition);
    CPPUNIT_TEST(testEraseLineFromRun);
    CPPUNIT_TEST(testGetType);
    CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_END();
protected:
    void testInitialize ();
    void testGetStartPosition ();
    void testEraseLineFromRun ();
    void testGetType ();
};

CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION(fb_AlignmentTest);

#endif /* RESPONSEPACKETTEST_H_ */
