UnitTest++: Open-Source C++ Unit Testing Framework

UnitTest++ provides easy-to-use classes and functions to create unit tests that check code behavior and logic, integrating well with various build systems and IDEs and having minimal dependencies.

What is UnitTest++?

UnitTest++ is an open-source unit testing framework for C++ that enables developers to implement unit testing and test-driven development. It provides an easy-to-use interface for creating test cases, assertions, test suites, and running automated tests.

Key features of UnitTest++ include:

• Integration with build systems like GNU make, Boost.Build, and Visual Studio
• Assertion macros for validating logical conditions and values in test cases
• Test fixtures for sharing common test data and logic
• Test runners for executing test suites and generating reports
• Support for death tests to check that code handles error conditions properly
• Portability across Windows, Linux, and other platforms

UnitTest++ aims to have minimal dependencies and overhead so developers can focus on writing tests rather than configuring a complex framework. Its syntax leverages common C++ features for greater readability of tests.

By providing unit testing capabilities directly within native C++ code, UnitTest++ makes it easier for C++ developers to adopt testing practices and apply test-driven development. This can improve code quality by catching errors early. The framework integrates seamlessly into C++ workflows.
