Unit Test Integration (C/C++)

Code quality (Embold) can ingest Google Test (GTest) results for C/C++ projects. Code quality does not run tests; you must execute them separately and produce XML reports which Code quality then parses.

Prerequisites

• Code quality server running and accessible.
• Project built with GTest executed.
• XML test reports generated on the same host where the Code quality scan runs.

Remote Scan Workflow for GTest

1. Open your project and click the repository menu (...).
2. Select Pipeline Script (repository type must be remote).
3. Copy the generated shell script.
4. Add your EMBOLD_TOKEN if not already present.
5. Optional script adjustments:
   • Comment lines 6–7 to skip automatic scanner download (if you provide it manually).
   • Comment line 10 to skip automatic repository configuration download; supply path with -c.
   • Ensure gtest module remains enabled in repository-configuration.json. Update reportDir if reports are stored outside baseDir.
6. Run the script.
7. View results under the Unit Tests section in the Code quality UI:

Notes

• Missing or malformed XML reports will result in absent test metrics.
• Keep report generation deterministic (stable file paths) for CI pipelines.
