Fortran tester {#mainpage}

tester is a Fortran module to test Fortran programs. It provides routines to check equality or closeness between variables and counting the errors.

A minimal example:

program test
  use tester
  implicit none

  type(tester_t) :: my_tester

  call my_tester% init()

  call my_tester% assert_equal(1, 2, fail=.true.)

  call my_tester% print()

end program test

If none of the tests fail, the print method displays the message fortran_tester: all tests succeeded. Else, the program will exit with a nonzero error code, making it suitable for use as an automated test.
