Hi Guys,

is there any way to unit test my classes written in c++ for ESP8266 Arduino platform? I really cannot find anything related material on the internet. I thought a widely used c++ unit testing library will work, but arduino is different as it has no try-catch blocks (thus exceptions) and other disadvantages compared to standard c++ etc etc.

What i need is simple: some assertion library, structuring capabilities (suites,test cases,...) and some kind of mocking and checking whether a method was called or not.
Can anybody help?

The old good way ; Serial.print() will be your friend.

Alternatively, for remote ESP without serial connectivity, I'm publishing debug message on MQTT.
Bye

Did you ever find an answer to this question? My project is reaching the stage where I want to start generating some testing metrics, ideally with some coverage analysis.
