Evaluation suite

As explained in Refactoring to Rust

A test suite is a collection of automated tests that collectively validate a software component.

How Refactoring to Rust covers it

How deep it goes

Explains test modules, attributes, assertions, execution, output, and failure diagnostics, but not broader testing strategies.

Examples

Uses a 2 + 2 equality check, a deliberately failing assertion, and captured standard output.

What it assumes

Assumes basic Rust library structure and introduces test modules, attributes, assertions, and conditional compilation incrementally.

What you can do after

Operate Cargo to run tests, inspect failures, and reveal captured output with command-line options.

How it connects

Connects unit tests with conditional compilation, assertions, Cargo, and compiler test builds.
