Test infrastructure

Building the tests

Check seqan3 documentation: http://docs.seqan.de/seqan/3.0.1/setup_tests.html

TODO cmake call

TODO how GoogleTest it is automatically checked

adding a test

TODO create file, add to cmake lists et cetera

Writing a test case

Basic rules

test the publicly specified interfaces
remember to test const/non-const versions
remember to test rvalue/lvalue versions
try to use generalized typed test whenever possible
write typed tests for your concepts and include all types that fulfill the concept

Test dependencies

prefer many small tests to one big test
try to make tests atomic, i.e. make them independent of functionality tested in other tests
if you need to use functionality from other tests, re-order your tests so that they only depend on previously tested functionality, not on things tested "later on"
never introduce circular dependencies between tests!

Example
