Doing The Google Test
Friday, November 7th, 2008
I am starting to use GoogleTest in development. I have not started using it YET, but I plan to roll it into my test framework. My little framework connects to a test database, and that is the thing I need to add to Google test.
I will still use my old framework. When I send work out to others , I use my framework so others do not have to worry about a xUnit framework. Not everyone uses xUnit you know.
I am a big believer in test driven development. That is just me and it has served me well.
Google’s framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Cygwin, Windows CE, and Symbian). Based on the xUnit architecture. Supports automatic test discovery, a rich set of assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, fatal and non-fatal failures, type-parameterized tests, various options for running the tests, and XML test report generation.
I think it is great that Google released it.
