Homegrown Testing Framework

Fibonacci

1. Look at "tests.cc" to see the assert statement options.
2. Look at "fibonacci_test.cc" to see how these assert statements are used.
3. make and run the unittests ./unittests to see how successful these tests were in finding errors!
4. No need to fix these errors. The point is to understand how test cases are created and used to develop a suite of tests.

Robot

1. Look at "robot.h" and robot.cc".
2. In the file "robot_test.cc" notice there are no tests written. Remedy this by writing a test that tests the DEFAULT constructor. This would be composed of the instantiation of a robot, then a series of the provided assert statements (e.g. ExpectEqual()) to check that the values for the radius and the position are as expected. The tests in "fibonacci_test.cc" provide a guide on how to create these.
3. Write a test for the other constructor.
4. Look at Robot::CheckOverlap(). Identify some scenarios that would be good to test.
5. For each scenario, write a collection of assert statements to confirm the results.
