Open Source C++ Unit Testing Tools

Cutter is a Unit Testing Framework for C and C++. Interface of Cutter is easy to write and easy to debug your code.

A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch). Catch2 is mainly a unit testing framework for C++, but it also provides basic micro-benchmarking features and simple BDD macros. Catch2's main advantage is that using it is both simple and natural. Test names do not have to be valid identifiers, assertions look like normal C++ boolean expressions, and sections provide a nice and local way to share set-up and tear-down code in tests. You are on the devel branch, where the v3 version is being developed. v3 brings a bunch of significant changes, the big one being that Catch2 is no longer a single-header library. Catch2 now behaves as a normal library, with multiple headers and separately compiled implementation.

CxxTest is a unit testing framework for C++ that is similar in spirit to JUnit, CppUnit, and xUnit. CxxTest is easy to use because it does not require precompiling a CxxTest testing library, it employs no advanced features of C++ (e.g. RTTI) and it supports a very flexible form of test discovery.

PLEASE NOTE that CppTest is in the process of migrating to GitHub: https://github.com/cpptest/cpptest CppTest is a portable and powerful, yet simple, unit testing framework for handling automated tests in C++. The focus lies on usability and extendability. Several output formats are supported and new ones are easily added.

NUnit brings xUnit-style unit-testing to all .Net languages. Although we no longer host our development on Sourceforge, our latest releases are always available here, as well as at our current development site at http://launchpad.net/nunitv2 Please report bugs at http://bugs.launchpad.net/nunitv2 You can browse or download the current source code at http://code.launchpad.net/nunitv2

cocoyaxi (co for short), is an elegant and efficient cross-platform C++ base library. It contains a series of high-quality base components, such as a go-style coroutine, coroutine-based network programming framework, command line, and config file parser, high-performance log library, unit testing framework, JSON library, etc. co has implemented a go-style coroutine, which has the following features. Multi-thread scheduling, the default number of threads is the number of system CPU cores. Shared stack, coroutines in the same thread share several stacks (the default size is 1MB), and the memory usage is low. Simple test on Linux shows that 10 millions of coroutines only take 2.8G of memory (for reference only). There is a flat relationship between coroutines, and new coroutines can be created from anywhere (including in coroutines). Support system API hook (Windows/Linux/Mac), you can directly use third-party network library in coroutine.

CuTest lets you write unit tests for your C code. You should use it because: (1) It has the cutest name, (2) It looks and feels like JUnit, (3) It is cross-platform, (4) It ships in a single .c and .h file for ease of deployment.

This project has been moved to github. Please check the current project page at: http://cpputest.github.com/cpputest/ ---------------------------------------------------------- CppUTest is a unit testing framework. Its main goal is to provide a simple unit testing framework that can also work well with embedded systems. It also provides support for working with C.

mockpp is a platform independent unit testing framework for C++. Its goal is to facilitate developing unit tests and integration tests in the spirit of "Mock Objects for Java" and jMock. It is tested with CppUnit but should work with other frameworks.

A unit testing framework, that supports multiple programming languages through back-ends and allows multiple interfaces through front-ends.

A VB/COM implementation of the JUnit unit testing framework.

EasyUnit is a unit testing framework for C++ and EC++ that intends to ease this process. It is based on CppUnitLite administration-free concept with the following additions: fixtures support, customizable test runner and results printer.

This is yet another unit testing framework for C++. However, QUnit feels like 50 lines of code, integrates nicely into your development environment, and contains no bells and whistles. QUnit is more like an idiom, just implement when you need it.

A simple C++ unit testing framework contained within a single header file. Minimal code is required for each new test.

cfix is a xUnit unit testing framework for C and C++, specialized for Win32 and NT kernel mode. The aim of the framework is to make the development of test suites as easy as possible while fully exploiting the services provided by Windows.

cipra is a simple, TAP-compatible Unit Testing Framework for C++. cipra is Free and Open Source Software, released under a 3-clause BSD-style license. It's written in 100% standard C++11 and is only a couple header files, making it easy to include in your C++11 project. TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, is a standard output format for software unit test frameworks that was originally designed for Perl, but can serve other languages. It has a rich number of tools ("harnesses") that parse TAP formatted output and do useful things with it. TAP, however, is equally human-readable. The name cipra (pronounced /ˈʃi.pɾaː/ "SHEE-prah") comes from the lojban phrase "lo cipra", which means "the test". It is properly written with an initial minuscule 'c', even when at the start of a sentence.

A port of the well-known C++ Unit Testing Framework on Visual Studio with a binary installers for the library. Projects using CppUnit for their tests only need to install the binary version. Download the binary installers from the "Files" section.

The Austria C++ library provides a host of essential C++ tools including but generic factories, smart pointers, logging, unit testing framework and parameters/configuration system. The library will work with both Linux/GCC and win32/MVC++.

A cross-platform unit testing framework for C++.

C++ unit testing framework, very cutdown compared to CppUnit but very simple and implemented entirely using header files.

A simple, robust, easy to use C++ unit testing framework. The output is being integrated with doxygen for automatic results reporting as well.
