need help on VHDL 16 bit counter

Need help on 16 bit counter, how do i write statement to check on my output count making sure it count from 0 to 15 and show error message.

library IEEE;
use IEEE.std.std_logic_1164.all;

entity counter_testbench is
end counter_testbench;

architecture counter_testbench of counter_testbench is
component counter
port ( count: out std_logic_vector(15 downto 0);
clk: in std_logic ;
reset: in std_logic;
end component;
signal count: std_logic_vector(15 downto 0);
signal clk: std_logic='0';
signal reset: std_logic='0';
begin
counter_circuit: counter
port map(count=>count,
clk=>clk,
reset=>reset);

clockrocess
begin
wait for 10ns; clk<=not clk;
end process clock;

test _resetrocess
begin
wait for 10ns; reset<='1';
wait for 10ns; reset<='0';
wait;
end process test_reset;

end counter_testbench;

first of all, there are syntax errors in the posted code.
Secondly, the clock will be stuck at 'U' with the posted code.

Please fix the code first, and come back with a clearer question.

Done my code is working already i need a code that can monitor the output(count) making sure it increase by 1 and able to show an error message where the error is. Should be assert statement.

Tricky is right..

u need to correct the initialization of signals clk and reset .. it is initialized through ":=" u must be knowing that , I guess its a human error..

Is my testbench ok now? i need help on writing a code that can monitor the output(count) making sure it increase by 1 and able to show an error message where the error is. Should be assert statement but i don't know how to write it.

Anyone can help?
