Google Test

Google Test (also known as gtest for e.g. the ROS environment[1]) is a unit testing library for the C++ programming language, based on the xUnit architecture.[2] The library is released under the BSD 3-clause license.[3] It can be compiled for a variety of POSIX and Windows platforms, allowing unit-testing of C sources as well as C++ with minimal source modification. The tests themselves could be run one at a time, or even be called to run all at once. This makes the debugging process very specific.

Projects using Google Test

Besides being developed and used at Google, many other projects implement Google Test as well:

Google Test UI is test runner that runs one's test binary, allows one to track its progress via a progress bar, and displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google Test UI is written in C#.[5] Additionally, a feature-complete Visual Studio extension exists with Google Test Adapter.[6]
