Test Description The abstract class Test (see Figure C-16) is the central design element of CppUnit, as in other versions of xUnit. It is the base class for all test objects. A Test may consist of a single unit test or of a collection of Tests. When a Test is run, a TestResult collects its results. All of Test's methods are virtual and should be overridden by descendant classes. Test belongs to the namespace CppUnit. It is declared in Test.h and implemented in Test.cpp. Figure C-16.
