I’m afraid I hven’t started using the test system yet, it’s definitely on my todo list. There are some good blog posts on it though:

Unit Testing with PlatformIO: Part 2. Running tests on an embedded target

In most cases, testing in a host environment is enough to find almost all sorts of typical programming errors (integer overflow, off-by-one error, etc) in the business logic of an application, but it is not the same as testing on the real hardware. A different compiler, endianness, or even unpredictable hardware issues can greatly affect the correctness of the code. This is the second part of a 3-part blog series where we set up a testing environment for embedded development. Read more …

Unit Testing with PlatformIO: Part 3. Continuous Integration and Remote Testing

In recent years Continuous Integration (CI) has become a standard for software development and embedded projects are no exception. Continuous integration allows developers to build an application and run tests in an automated way. Whenever new changes are committed to the repository, the CI system executes predefined tasks to make sure that the project works as expected and no regression was introduced. This is the final part of a 3-part blog series where we set up a testing environment for emb…

which I have bookmarked.
