Nothing will actually change because we’ll still be using std::cout for the results but this is a better design because it lets the testing application decide where to send the results, instead of the testing library.

By the testing library, I mean the Test.h file. This is the file that other applications will include in order to create and run tests. With the project we have so far, it’s a bit different because we’re writing tests to test the library itself.
