If you are interested in understanding the internals of Google Test,
|
|
building from source, or contributing ideas or modifications to the
|
|
project, then this document is for you.
|
|
|
|
# Introduction #
|
|
|
|
First, let's give you some background of the project.
|
|
|
|
## Licensing ##
|
|
|
|
All Google Test source and pre-built packages are provided under the [New BSD License](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php).
|
|
|
|
## The Google Test Community ##
|
|
|
|
The Google Test community exists primarily through the [discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googletestframework) and the GitHub repository.
|
|
You are definitely encouraged to contribute to the
|
|
discussion and you can also help us to keep the effectiveness of the
|
|
group high by following and promoting the guidelines listed here.
|
|
|
|
### Please Be Friendly ###
|
|
|
|
Showing courtesy and respect to others is a vital part of the Google
|
|
culture, and we strongly encourage everyone participating in Google
|
|
Test development to join us in accepting nothing less. Of course,
|
|
being courteous is not the same as failing to constructively disagree
|
|
with each other, but it does mean that we should be respectful of each
|
|
other when enumerating the 42 technical reasons that a particular
|
|
proposal may not be the best choice. There's never a reason to be
|
|
antagonistic or dismissive toward anyone who is sincerely trying to
|
|
contribute to a discussion.
|
|
|
|
Sure, C++ testing is serious business and all that, but it's also
|
|
a lot of fun. Let's keep it that way. Let's strive to be one of the
|
|
friendliest communities in all of open source.
|
|
|
|
As always, discuss Google Test in the official GoogleTest discussion group.
|
|
You don't have to actually submit code in order to sign up. Your participation
|
|
itself is a valuable contribution.
|
|
|
|
# Working with the Code #
|
|
|
|
If you want to get your hands dirty with the code inside Google Test,
|
|
this is the section for you.
|
|
|
|
## Compiling from Source ##
|
|
|
|
Once you check out the code, you can find instructions on how to
|
|
compile it in the [README](../README.md) file.
|
|
|
|
## Testing ##
|
|
|
|
A testing framework is of no good if itself is not thoroughly tested.
|
|
Tests should be written for any new code, and changes should be
|
|
verified to not break existing tests before they are submitted for
|
|
review. To perform the tests, follow the instructions in
|
|
[README](../README.md) and verify that there are no failures.
|
|
|
|
# Contributing Code #
|
|
|
|
We are excited that Google Test is now open source, and hope to get
|
|
great patches from the community. Before you fire up your favorite IDE
|
|
and begin hammering away at that new feature, though, please take the
|
|
time to read this section and understand the process. While it seems
|
|
rigorous, we want to keep a high standard of quality in the code
|
|
base.
|
|
|
|
## Contributor License Agreements ##
|
|
|
|
You must sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) before we can
|
|
accept any code. The CLA protects you and us.
|
|
|
|
* If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA](http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html).
|
|
* If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work to Google Test, then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA](http://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html).
|
|
|
|
Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and
|
|
instructions for how to sign and return it.
|
|
|
|
## Coding Style ##
|
|
|
|
To keep the source consistent, readable, diffable and easy to merge,
|
|
we use a fairly rigid coding style, as defined by the [google-styleguide](http://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/) project. All patches will be expected
|
|
to conform to the style outlined [here](http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml).
|
|
|
|
## Updating Generated Code ##
|
|
|
|
Some of Google Test's source files are generated by the Pump tool (a
|
|
Python script). If you need to update such files, please modify the
|
|
source (`foo.h.pump`) and re-generate the C++ file using Pump. You
|
|
can read the PumpManual for details.
|
|
|
|
## Submitting Patches ##
|
|
|
|
Please do submit code. Here's what you need to do:
|
|
|
|
1. A submission should be a set of changes that addresses one issue in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/google/googletest/issues). Please don't mix more than one logical change per submittal, because it makes the history hard to follow. If you want to make a change that doesn't have a corresponding issue in the issue tracker, please create one.
|
|
1. Also, coordinate with team members that are listed on the issue in question. This ensures that work isn't being duplicated and communicating your plan early also generally leads to better patches.
|
|
1. Ensure that your code adheres to the [Google Test source code style](#Coding_Style.md).
|
|
1. Ensure that there are unit tests for your code.
|
|
1. Sign a Contributor License Agreement.
|
|
1. Create a Pull Request in the usual way.
|
|
|
|
## Google Test Committers ##
|
|
|
|
The current members of the Google Test engineering team are the only
|
|
committers at present. In the great tradition of eating one's own
|
|
dogfood, we will be requiring each new Google Test engineering team
|
|
member to earn the right to become a committer by following the
|
|
procedures in this document, writing consistently great code, and
|
|
demonstrating repeatedly that he or she truly gets the zen of Google
|
|
Test.
|
|
|
|
# Release Process #
|
|
|
|
We follow a typical release process:
|
|
|
|
1. A release branch named `release-X.Y` is created.
|
|
1. Bugs are fixed and features are added in trunk; those individual patches are merged into the release branch until it's stable.
|
|
1. An individual point release (the `Z` in `X.Y.Z`) is made by creating a tag from the branch.
|
|
1. Repeat steps 2 and 3 throughout one release cycle (as determined by features or time).
|
|
1. Go back to step 1 to create another release branch and so on.
