Advanced features of Google Test

Google Test offers a range of advanced features designed to handle complex testing scenarios, providing developers with powerful tools to ensure their code’s robustness. Among these features, one notable capability is the support for death tests. Death tests are particularly useful for verifying that your code exhibits the expected behavior when it encounters fatal conditions, such as failed assertions or explicit calls to abort(). This is crucial in scenarios where you want to ensure that your application responds appropriately to unrecoverable errors, enhancing its reliability and safety.

Here’s a brief example of a death test:

void risky_function(bool trigger) {
    if (trigger) {
        assert(false && “Triggered a fatal error”);
    }
}
TEST(RiskyFunctionTest, TriggersAssertOnCondition) {
    EXPECT_DEATH_IF_SUPPORTED...
