Comparison of C++ unit test frameworks [closed]

Question

I know there are already a few questions regarding recommendations for C++ unit test frameworks, but all the answers did not help as they just recommend one of the frameworks but do not provide any information about a (feature) comparison.

I think the most interesting frameworks are CppUnit, Boost and the new Google testing framework. Has anybody done any comparison yet?

Answer 1

A new player is Google Test (also known as Google C++ Testing Framework) which is pretty nice though.

#include <gtest/gtest.h>  TEST(MyTestSuitName, MyTestCaseName) {     int actual = 1;     EXPECT_GT(actual, 0);     EXPECT_EQ(1, actual) << "Should be equal to one"; } 

Main features:

• Portable
• Fatal and non-fatal assertions
• Easy assertions informative messages: ASSERT_EQ(5, Foo(i)) << " where i = " << i;
• Google Test automatically detects your tests and doesn't require you to enumerate them in order to run them
• Make it easy to extend your assertion vocabulary
• Death tests (see advanced guide)
• SCOPED_TRACE for subroutine loops
• You can decide which tests to run
• XML test report generation
• Fixtures / Mock / Templates...
