The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Starting with C
Okay, time to start unit tests!!! We will use Unity Test Framework to do unit testing. It is one of widely used testing frameworks alongside with Check, Google Test etc. Just downloading source code, and putting it to the project folder is enough to make it work (that is also why it is portable).

Automatically run tests, formatters & linters with CI!
Roy's project uses Google Test, a C++ testing framework. His testing setup is similar to mine as we both keep source files in one directory and tests in another. The key difference is that I can run the tests using the Visual Studios run button. It was fairly easy to write the new tests as there were existing ones that I could reference to check the syntax!

C++ Unit Testing Using Google Test - My Experience
The Google Test Documentation provides a primer for first-time users. The primer introduces some basic concepts and terminology, some of which I've been able to learn for this lab exercise.

CI/CD pipelines for embedded
Not sure about CppUnit but I can speak to my previous experience using the googletest framework which compiles your tests to an executable, and since it's a very simple framework we were able to cross-compile and run directly on our device. We just had to hook up a device to the server that was running the CI so it could flash it when needed. That basically meant that our process was:
