# Unit Testing

Unit tests are intended to test individual class interfaces and functionality.  They should be narrow in scope and not involve complex integrations between components.

The unit tests are written using the [Google Test framework](https://github.com/google/googletest).  They should be run from the build directory via:

```bash theme={null}
make check
```

This will build and run all of the unit tests.  To run individual tests, you can run `ctest` with the appropriate filters.  If the tests are already built, you can also run `make test` both at the top level to run the entire test suite or within individual subdirectories in order to run a portion of the tests.
