About:
Check is a unit testing framework for C. It provides a simple interface for creating test cases and test suites, handling assertions, and managing test execution. Its primary value is enabling robust, automated testing for C applications and libraries.
Key Features:
  • Simple test fixture setup and teardown
  • Rich set of assertion macros
  • Support for test execution in separate processes (forking)
  • Flexible test result logging and output formats
Use Cases:
  • Unit testing C libraries and applications
  • Regression testing for C codebases
  • Test-driven development (TDD) in C
Alternatives:
  • GoogleTest – Primarily for C++ but can be used for C; more feature-rich but also heavier.
  • CMocka – A more modern C unit testing framework with support for mocking.
