What is cxxtest
cxxtest is:
CxxTest is a unit testing framework for C++ that is similar in spirit to
JUnit, CppUnit, and xUnit. It provides assertions for checking conditions
and classes for defining unit-test cases.
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, which simplifies the creation
of test drivers. It includes a script that parses C++ files that define unit
tests and then generates a C++ test runner. When compiled, the test runner
manages the execution of all unit tests in a flexible manner.
