C++ Windows Store Unit Tests Async Support

2 posts · Dec 2012 – Feb 2013

What this trail covers

Introduced support for asynchronous test methods in C++ Windows Store Unit Tests, enabling developers to test asynchronous functions using a helper library that synchronizes asynchronous operations within the test framework.

All Microsoft trails
  1. Improvements in Windows Store Unit Tests: Test Exceptions in Async Lambda Expressions, Run Tests on the UI ThreadAdds Assert.ThrowsException<T> for testing async lambda expressions and the UITestMethodAttribute for running tests on the UI thread in Windows Store unit tests.
  2. Asynchronous calls in C++ Windows Store Unit TestsThis post describes a model by which C++ Windows Store Unit Tests can test asynchronous functions, addressing the lack of async-await constructs in C++. It details the installation of the C++ WinRT AsyncUnitTestLibrary project template and demonstrates its usage with the `AsyncHelper::RunSynced` method to synchronize asynchronous tasks within test methods.
