Exploring the C++ Unit Testing Framework Jungle

Testing

Exploring the C++ Unit Testing Framework Jungle over on Games from Within is a really good look at all of the C++ unit testing frameworks out there. It compares the following frameworks:

  • CppUnit

  • Boost.Test

  • CppUnitLite

  • NanoCppUnit

  • Unit++

  • CxxTest

I’m one of those people who has written their own mini framework because none of the existing frameworks seemed to do what I wanted at the time I needed the framework and I wanted to get up to speed quickly with minimal learning time. Had this comparative review been available when I was first starting out with C++ unit testing then I most probably would have used one of the frameworks!
