Run Tests

• list all tests _build/aprapipesut --list_content
• run all tests _build/aprapipesut
• run one test _build/aprapipesut --run_test=filenamestrategy_tests/boostdirectorystrategy
• run one test with arguments _build/aprapipesut --run_test=unit_tests/params_test -- -ip 10.102.10.121 -data ArgusCamera
  • Look at the unit_tests/params_test to check for sample usage of parameters in test code

This project uses boost tests for unit tests.
