C++ Software engineering

Contents

C++ is widely used in many contexts. This training focuses on software engineering aspects of C++ such as building software, linting, testing libraries and applications, and so on. Also, best practices are discussed such as design patterns.

When you complete this training you will be able to:

• assess code quality;
• build software using CMake;
• perform static code analysis and interpret the results;
• write unit tests using Catch2;
• write functional tests using CTest;
• use C++ package managers such as Conan or vcpkg;
• use some design patterns that are useful in scientific programming;
• program in an efficient functional style using STL algorithms and rangs.

Previous knowledge

You will need experience programming in C++, this is not a training that teaches you how to program in C++. You also need to be familiar with the Bash command line.
