12 /** Test Suite for CuckooCache
14 * 1) All tests should have a deterministic result (using insecure rand
15 * with deterministic seeds)
16 * 2) Some test methods are templated to allow for easier testing
17 * against new versions / comparing
18 * 3) Results should be treated as a regression test, i.e., did the behavior
19 * change significantly from what was expected. This can be OK, depending on
20 * the nature of the change, but requires updating the tests to reflect the new
21 * expected behavior. For example improving the hit rate may cause some tests
22 * using BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE to fail.
