Description
Verification
- I searched for similar issues (including closed issues) and found none was relevant.
Introduce the issue
Unit testing can improve code quality, help developers find bugs, and make it easier to add new features.
After looking into the project I see that there are no unit tests for Infinitime. I would like to suggest that the community adopts a unit testing framework and add documentation to the source code on how to include test coverage to new or existing code.
Preferred solution
After some initial research it looks like Google Test is a framework that is easy to integrate into an existing project and it has some nice features. There are a lot of unit testing frameworks out there for C++ and I think the community should discuss in case people have preferences for other solutions.
For the scope of this issue, I think the chosen framework should be installed and a skeleton test project should be added to the source code. It should also be well documented and provide a rough outline on how future tests could be included.
