Unit testing frameworks for C++


As a C++ developer, you have quite a lot of options when choosing between unit testing frameworks. While there are many more frameworks, these are some of the popular ones: CppUnit, CppUnitLite, Boost, MSTest, Visual Studio unit test, and Google test framework.  

Note

Though older articles, I recommend you to take a look at http://gamesfromwithin.com/exploring-the-c-unit-testing-framework-jungle and https://accu.org/index.php/journals/. They might give you some insight into this topic. 

Without any second thought, Google test framework is one of the most popular testing frameworks for C++ as it is supported on a wide variety of platforms, actively developed, and above all, backed by Google.

Throughout this chapter, we will use the Google test and Google mock frameworks. However, the concepts discussed in this chapter are applicable to all unit test frameworks. We'll deep dive into Google test framework and its installation procedure in the next sections.
