Writing unit tests for older code is a great way to learn the code (which I will be doing :-)).  I have also created a presentation to help explain what unit tests are:

In this situation, the developer can write their patch and test their code by mocking any APIs their code is dependent on.  This method allows for parallel development without the need to wait for the APIs to be available.


It turns out this patch is breaking the build on EL5. :(

Looking through the docs on your cmockery2 GitHub repo, it's
hard to tell which platforms are supported.  Should it work
on EL5? :)
