How do I get started doing unit testing in C++ ?
I have used Junit when coding in Java and found it very useful. Is there something similar in C++ ? What do you recommend ?

A Unit Testing Framework for C CUnit is a lightweight system for writing, administering, and running unit tests in C. It provides C programmers a basic testing functionality with a flexible variety of user interfaces.
Unit testing is a method of testing software where individual software components are isolated and tested for correctness. Ideally, these unit tests are able to cover most if not all of the code paths, argument bounds, and failure cases of the software under test.
While both add value to the development process, they are different in many ways. End-to-end testing is a testing process in which the tester tests a software application from the user's perspective. Unit testing is a testing process where the developer verifies that individual units of source code work correctly.
Who performs Unit Testing? Unit testing is the first software testing phase in SDLC and it is usually taken up during the development of the application. These unit test cases are written and executed by software developers.
