# Unit Tests
Provides an overview of how to write and run the unit tests in the EC codebase.
[TOC]
## Running Unit Tests {#running}
The unit tests run on the host machine using the [`host` board].
List available unit tests:
```bash
(chroot) ~/trunk/src/platform/ec $ make print-host-tests
```
Build and run a specific unit test (the `host_command` test in this example):
```bash
(chroot) ~/trunk/src/platform/ec $ make run-host_command
```
Build and run all unit tests:
```bash
(chroot) ~/trunk/src/platform/ec $ make runhosttests -j
```
## Writing Unit Tests
Unit tests live in the [`test`] subdirectory of the CrOS EC codebase.
Test-related macros (e.g., `TEST_EQ`, `TEST_NE`) and functions are defined in
[`test_util.h`].
`test/my_test.c`:
```c
#include <stdbool.h>
#include "test_util.h"
static bool some_function(void)
{
return true;
}
/* Write a function with the following signature: */
test_static int test_my_function(void)
{
/* Run some code */
bool condition = some_function();
/* Check that the expected condition is correct. */
TEST_EQ(condition, true, "%d");
return EC_SUCCESS;
}
```
`test/my_test.c`:
```c
/* The test framework will call the function named "run_test" */
void run_test(int argc, char **argv)
{
/* Each unit test can be run using the RUN_TEST macro: */
RUN_TEST(test_my_function);
/* Report the results of all the tests at the end. */
test_print_result();
}
```
In the [`test`] subdirectory, create a `tasklist` file for your test that lists
the tasks that should run as part of the test:
`test/my_test.tasklist`:
```c
/*
* No test task in this case, but you can use `TASK_TEST` macro to specify one.
*/
#define CONFIG_TEST_TASK_LIST
```
Add the test to the `Makefile`:
`test/build.mk`:
```Makefile
test-list-host += my_test
```
and
```Makefile
my_test-y=my_test.o
```
Make sure you test shows up in the "host" tests:
```bash
(chroot) $ make print-host-tests | grep my_test
host-my_test
run-my_test
```
Build and run the test:
```bash
(chroot) $ make run-my_test
```
*** note
**TIP**: Unit tests should be independent from each other as much as possible.
This keeps the test (and any system state) simple to reason about and also
allows running unit tests in parallel. You can use the
[`before_test` hook][`test_util.h`] to reset the state before each test is run.
***
## Mocks
[Mocks][`mock`] enable you to simulate behavior for parts of the system that
you're not directly testing. They can also be useful for testing specific edge
cases that are hard to exercise during normal use (e.g., error conditions).
See the [Mock README] for details.
### Mock Time
When writing unit tests that rely on a clock, it's best not to rely on a real
hardware clock. It's very difficult to enforce exact timing with a real clock,
which leads to test flakiness (and developers ignoring tests since they're flaky
). Instead, use the [Mock Timer] to adjust the time during the test.
