New BMI components introduced are categorized as follows,
- Model control functions (4)
- Model information functions (5)
- Variable information functions (6)
- Time functions (5)
- Variable getter and setter functions (5)
- Model grid functions (16)
We will fully examine functionality of all applicable definitions.
mkdir build && cd build (inside cfe directory)
cmake .. -DUNITTEST=ON
make && cd ..
./run_unittest.sh (within test directory)
The script uses a catchment-89 configuration found here. Note that the actual testing loop is much smaller than the number of time steps or end time generated via configuration file or otherwise.
Recall that BMI guides interoperability for model-coupling, where model components (i.e. inputs and outputs) are easily shared amongst each other. When testing outside of a true framework, we consider the behavior of BMI function definitions, rather than any expected values they produce.
