Open Source C++ Test Frameworks

GoogleTest is Google's C++ mocking and test framework. It's used by many internal projects at Google, as well as a number of notable projects such as The Chromium projects, the OpenCV computer vision library, and the LLVM compiler. This GoogleTest project is actually a union of what used to be two separate projects: the old GoogleTest and GoogleMock, an extension of GoogleTest for writing and using C++ mock classes. Since they were so closely related, they were merged to create an even better GoogleTest. GoogleTest features an xUnit test framework, a rich set of assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, among many others. It's been used on a variety of platforms, including Cygwin, Symbian, MinGW and PlatformIO.

A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch). Catch2 is mainly a unit testing framework for C++, but it also provides basic micro-benchmarking features and simple BDD macros. Catch2's main advantage is that using it is both simple and natural. Test names do not have to be valid identifiers, assertions look like normal C++ boolean expressions, and sections provide a nice and local way to share set-up and tear-down code in tests. You are on the devel branch, where the v3 version is being developed. v3 brings a bunch of significant changes, the big one being that Catch2 is no longer a single-header library. Catch2 now behaves as a normal library, with multiple headers and separately compiled implementation.

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments. The goal of STAF is to provide a complete end-to-end automation solution for testers.

libCIGI (library for Common Image Generator Interface) is a lightweight header only library that provides interfaces for communication between CIGI hosts and image generators. Currently versions 3.0, 3.2 and 3.3 are supported as well as support for the *draft* V4.0 CIGI standard. Additional functionality to the base packet interfaces is provided through external classes so that to the packet headers have no further dependencies. Packet processing is kept simple and a couple of simple helper functions / classes are provided in CIGIGeneric.h and some other headers to support this. Helpers are provided for version interpretation and conversion of packet parameters to text. Testing is supported using the boost test framework to develop unit tests for each of the packets. Because the library is header-only it can easily support many platforms / compilers but this has not yet been tested. Note: Currently the use of bitfields in the library may cause erroneous use in some compilers.

This framework supports a wide variety of model-based GUI testing techniques. The innovation lies in the architecture of GUITAR, which uses plug-ins to support flexibility and extensibility. Software developers and quality assurance engineers may use this architecture to create new toolchains, new workflows based on the toolchains, and plug in a variety of measurement tools to conduct GUI testing. More detail is presented in this publication: GUITAR: An Innovative Tool for Automated Testing of GUI-driven Software. Bao N. Nguyen, Bryan Robbins, Ishan Banerjee, and Atif Memon. Automated Software Engineering Journal. p.21, 1. 2014

QTest is a perl-based test framework for testing programs written in any language. It supports a "design for testability" mentality, user-defined test coverage, filters, and multithreading support. Includes documentation.

Simple C/C++ Unit test framework, extensible with console user interface and graphics user interface.

C++ unit test framework, allowing you to write tests with minimal effort. Scales to large projects with thousands of tests. Supports suites and running of subsets of tests using globbing to match test names.

CppUtx is a unit test framework for C++ based on the article `Cpp Utx Overview` written by Robert DiFalco and some parts of CxxTest. It depends on the standard and the boost library.

Cput – is the unit test framework that allow create and run tests for C++ projects. MS Visual Studio add-in makes easier to add new tests and debug and run existing. Currently support x86 C++ projects for MS VS 2005 and 2008.

A simple automated software testing framework. Provides a remote script execution environment driven by a web service.

KvTest is a C++ test framework. It aims at making test-driven development easy and affordable. It's features are, among others, easy integration, dependency tracking, and statistics.

A minimalistic test framework written in C++ providing scenario based, stateful acceptance testing where application user interface is mocked using test stubs. Refer to Sample.cpp for usage guidance. The sample defines a simple application class, fake user interface implementing the same abstract interface as the application requires, a test context to hold test state and pass it on among steps, and a few test steps. It then adds all the test steps to a test scenario. Then the default() main function is inserted. If you compile, link and execute the Sample, you will have an idea of what you should expect when you have finished writing your test.

Most C++ test frameworks are like JUnit. Unfortunately C++ lacks reflection and lots of boiler plate code is needed for JUnit style tests. This framework tries to minimize the amount of boiler plate code required for simple test. Just enjoy writing tests!

Test automation framework, for building fast, re-usable and reliable system tests under windows OS. It includes a tool for developing automation in .NET, and a GUI tool to compose automation with no coding skills. Learn more: http:/qaliber.org

Robosoccer simulation and test framework at ELTE-IK

TUT performs all required tasks that one can expect from unit test framework, but at the same time is small and robust (about 2.5k SLOC with 98% self-test coverage). Deploying TUT is very fast, since it is a header-only library.

TFOGS is a test framework for quick action game, it's anti-hack, and it provides a complete implementation to reduce lag.

Testserver for Symbian OS is a unit test framework designed for production mobile phones, wherein test steps are written as ECOM plugins and test script can be easily run from the shell. It has a range of prewritten steps for setting up test environments

Unit++ is a C++ framework in the spirit of junit, but implemented from scratch in C++. This is done to work better with the C++ world, than a port of the Java version can.

A C++ unit test framework for Windows with both a graphical and console display that utilizes only the Windows API to aid compatability with all Windows C++ compilers and frameworks

see this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_JWw4R72nw It is a good framework for learning Physics in simulation, Water, splash, wave and collision detection all writen with object oriented programming in c++ Yes, it is similar World of goo!! but it is a test framework for working with Simple Direct media layer and physics engine. Currently I don't work in this project, you can use it under NEW BSD license.

fgen is a free command line tool that facilitates cross platform c++ development, including header generation, cpp file generation, makefile generation, unit test framework generation, etc.

This is a new C++ unit test framework based on the power of c++ template technology. The vision is easy to use, portable and flexible.
