C-Bed

Overview

C-Bed is a unit testing and mocking framework specifically for C programming. It provides a simple header and static library approach to writing isolated, fast unit tests with full mocking support and automatic memory issue detection.

Purpose

C-Bed enables proper unit testing practices in C projects - isolated tests, dependency mocking, and early detection of memory issues - without complex tooling or external dependencies.

Key Features

• Unit testing framework supporting TDD or after-the-fact testing
• Mocking framework to isolate functions from their dependencies
• Automatic memory leak and violation detection
• Simple integration: include header, link library, run tests

Why Use C-Bed?

Testing C code properly means isolating each function and mocking its dependencies. Without mocking, a test failure could be in any of the called functions - you don't know what broke. Manual memory tracking is tedious and error-prone.

C-Bed solves this by providing true unit test isolation through mocking, so you know exactly what you're testing. Built-in memory leak detection catches issues immediately during test runs, not in production. Structure your tests with Arrange/Act/Assert, mock dependencies, and let C-Bed verify your code works in isolation - the way unit tests should.
