TESTSUITE(theSuiteName) {

TEST(theFirstTest){

…

}

TEST(theSecondTest){

…

}

…

}

the whole framework resides within a single header file,

tests are automatically registered as you write them, and if it wasn’t for the unknown order how translation units were handled you could run the tests outside

of main.

code is nearly platform independent, although there’s some platform specific code to redirect testresults to the output pane of visual studio (and the output format is tailored for vs, so i can click on a failed test and will jump to corresponding source file and line)

if it’s interesting for you to include some of my ideas in unittest++ then drop me a line. i’d be more than glad to share.

kind regards,

Since we're applying TDD, the goal isn't to get 100% unit test coverage, but to use the tests to help the design of your code. Also, naturally, with TDD, you'll get something very close to 100% coverage anyway.

Suites might take a bit more, but they're in the works. Better timings are actually quite important to us, so we've already added them to the current Sourceforge code and they'll be in the next release. If you have any specific requests or high priority features in mind, jump in the unittestcpp-devel mailing list and let's discuss it there.

The plans for built-in memory detection and test timing sound cool, but am I right to guess that support for suites and alternative reporters comes first, considering that they were in your previous checklist of features that a good unit test framework should have?

In the meanwhile, I suggest you look at how the test project is set up. Also, look at the TestUnitTest.cpp file. That is pretty much a set of "documentation" tests showing one of each type and how they work. Yeah, we’ll get some documentation together for the next release.
