Potency Design Goals

• Solid and simple C testing framework, with some C++ sugar later on down the line
• Clear, complete documentation
• Portable to all feasible target systems and compilers
• Simple, effective, portable build system using bam
• Benchmarking and memory usage tracking
• Multithreaded test execution
• Output reports in Markdown, JSON, or XML

Potency Feature Requirements

• Provide a main function so a test suite binary command line tool can be built simply by linking to it
• Ability to filter by test case names
• Ability to list test case names
• Output number of test cases, number of assertions, number of passed assertions, number of failed assertions, success percentage
• Output file name and line number of failed assertions
• Allow for optional user supplied setup and tear down functions per test suite
