Introduction

Testing the code is an important part of software development. Although there is no support for testing in the C++ standard, there is a large variety of frameworks for unit testing C++ code. The purpose of this chapter is to get you started with several modern and widely used testing frameworks that enable you to write portable testing code. The frameworks discussed in this chapter were chosen due to their rich capabilities, the ease with which they can be used to write and execute tests, extensibility, and customization.
