Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Unit tests for dissectors

[Atli Guðmundsson <atli@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've recently created reviews for:

• an update of the ASTERIX dissector to support Category 019
• unit tests of the Category 019 support
• generic unit test dissection validator (used by the above unit tests)

I will soon add support for Category 020 and would like to know if I'm on the right track with the unit tests approach so that I can add on top of this or if I should go another way?

This is because during my development I could only find a small set of unit tests for existing dissectors, but no extensive ones.

I was thus also wondering if there was a particular reason for this?

Or if I just overlooked something?

The reviews that I created are:

• https://code.wireshark.org/review/31081
  
• https://code.wireshark.org/review/31082
  
• https://code.wireshark.org/review/31083
  
• https://code.wireshark.org/review/31084
  
• https://code.wireshark.org/review/31085

Thank you in advance for your attention.
