Unit Testing

Any good application has a set of tests to ensure it stays in a good condition. Squid tends to use cppunit tests.

It is preferable to automated tests for units of functionality. There is a boilerplate for tests in "src/tests/testBoilerplate.[cc|h]". New tests need to be added to src/Makefile.am to build and run them during "make check". To add a new test script, just copy the references to testBoilerplate in Makefile.am adjusting the name, and likewise copy the source files. If you are testing an already tested area you may be able to just add new test cases to an existing script. I.e. to test the store some more just edit tests/testStore.h and add a new unit test method name.
