[Insight-users] Unit Testing

[Matt Kelsey]

Hello again,
I have a couple of additional questions about unit testing in ITK if
you have  a moment.

I see from the example that:
 ADD_TEST(SimpleTest ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/SimpleTest Hello)
SimpleTest is the test name,
${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/SimpleTest is the test executable,
and Hello is a command line parameter.

I take it from this that the "SimpleTest" executable has to be
generated from some other command within the CMakeLists file.  Is the
way to do this simply to add another "ADD_EXECUTABLE" with all of the
necessary files for each test?  In this scenario, it seems that each
SimpleTestN.cpp would contain a main() and be used to create a
separate executable.
Am I off base here or is that pretty much how it goes?

Thanks for your insight,
Matt
