Title: C Unit Testing with the Fake Function Framework
Proposer: mike_long
Type: Tutorial/Live coding
Duration: 45 minutes
Description:
Unit testing C code is possible, but compared to other languages there are very few tools and frameworks available to help. The Fake Function Framework was born out of the repetitive and time-consuming task of creating fake functions to mock out the runtime dependencies of code under test.
Starting as a small tinkering project over the Christmas vacation, it soon came to be used by several Schlumberger projects for C unit testing. Now it is being used in James Grenning’s TDD for Embedded C workshops and also many companies all over the world.
This session will introduce the features of the Fake Function Framework and illustrate its use through live coding.
Note: Fake Function Framework is open source and lives at

Roger: Maybe - TDD for C sounds intruiging but might it be of interest to only a few?
Asti - I'd be willing to invest 45 minutes in it
