Overview

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.

CxxTest is available under the GNU Lesser General Public Licence (LGPL).

A Simple Example

1. Create a test suite header file:

MyTestSuite.h:

#include <cxxtest/TestSuite.h>

class MyTestSuite : public CxxTest::TestSuite { public: void testAddition( void ) { TS_ASSERT( 1 + 1 > 1 ); TS_ASSERT_EQUALS( 1 + 1, 2 ); } };

2. Generate the tests file:

cxxtestgen --error-printer -o tests.cpp MyTestSuite.h

3. Compile and run!

g++ -o main tests.cpp

./main

Running cxxtest tests (1 test).OK!
