C++ stack template implementation using linked list

C++ STL stack implementation using linked list to support custom datatypes. Supports throwing errors for underflows.

Stack template is in a separate header file, stack.h.

To use the custom stack template, import the header file using #include "stack.h"

Includes unit testing.

Requirements : C++ 11

To Compile and run the application 

g++ stack.tests.cpp
./a.out

template 
class Stack
{

private:
    class Node
    {
    public:
        T data;
        Node *next;
        Node()
        {
            data = nullptr;
            next = nullptr;
        }
        Node(T value)
        {
            data = value;
            next = nullptr;
        }
    };
    Node *head;
    int stackSize;
public:

    Stack()
    {
        this->head = nullptr;
        this->stackSize = 0;
    }
    ~Stack()
    {
        // delete the dynamic memory to avoid memory leak
    }
    void push(T value)
    {
        Node *temp = new Node(value);
        temp->next = head;
        this->head = temp;
        this->stackSize += 1;
    }
    void pop()
    {
        if (this->stackSize == 0)
        {
            throw underflow_error("stack is empty");
        }
        Node *temp = this->head;
        this->head = this->head->next;
        temp->next = nullptr;

        delete temp;
        this->stackSize--;
    }
    bool isEmpty()
    {
        return this->stackSize == 0 ? true : false;
    }
    T top()
    {
        if (this->stackSize == 0)
        {
            throw underflow_error("stack is empty");
        }
        return this->head->data;
    }
    int size()
    {
        return this->stackSize;
    }
};
