# Google Test #
|
|
|
|
Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
|
|
|
|
This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and
|
|
GoogleMock projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense to
|
|
maintain and release them together.
|
|
|
|
Please see the project page above for more information as well as the
|
|
mailing list for questions, discussions, and development. There is
|
|
also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Please
|
|
join us!
|
|
|
|
**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock
|
|
classes. See the separate [Google Mock documentation](googlemock/README.md).
|
|
|
|
More detailed instructions for googletest are in its interior
|
|
[README.md](googletest/README.md) file.
|
|
|
|
## Features ##
|
|
|
|
* An [XUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit) test framework.
|
|
* Test discovery.
|
|
* A rich set of assertions.
|
|
* User-defined assertions.
|
|
* Death tests.
|
|
* Fatal and non-fatal failures.
|
|
* Value-parameterized tests.
|
|
* Type-parameterized tests.
|
|
* Various options for running the tests.
|
|
* XML test report generation.
|
|
|
|
## Platforms ##
|
|
|
|
Google test has been used on a variety of platforms:
|
|
|
|
* Linux
|
|
* Mac OS X
|
|
* Windows
|
|
* Cygwin
|
|
* MinGW
|
|
* Windows Mobile
|
|
* Symbian
|
|
|
|
## Who Is Using Google Test? ##
|
|
|
|
In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test is also used by
|
|
the following notable projects:
|
|
|
|
* The [Chromium projects](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome
|
|
browser and Chrome OS).
|
|
* The [LLVM](http://llvm.org/) compiler.
|
|
* [Protocol Buffers](http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/), Google's data
|
|
interchange format.
|
|
* The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.
|
|
|
|
## Related Open Source Projects ##
|
|
|
|
[Google Test UI](http://code.google.com/p/gtest-gbar/) is test runner that runs
|
|
your test binary, allows you to track its progress via a progress bar, and
|
|
displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google
|
|
Test UI is written in C#.
|
|
|
|
[GTest TAP Listener](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an event
|
|
listener for Google Test that implements the
|
|
[TAP protocol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) for test
|
|
result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements ##
|
|
|
|
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build
|
|
and use with your projects, but there are some. Currently, we support
|
|
Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will also make our best
|
|
effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris, AIX, and z/OS).
|
|
However, since core members of the Google Test project have no access
|
|
to these platforms, Google Test may have outstanding issues there. If
|
|
you notice any problems on your platform, please notify
|
|
<googletestframework@googlegroups.com>. Patches for fixing them are
|
|
even more welcome!
|
|
|
|
### Linux Requirements ###
|
|
|
|
These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source
|
|
package (as described below):
|
|
|
|
* GNU-compatible Make or gmake
|
|
* POSIX-standard shell
|
|
* POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
|
|
* A C++98-standard-compliant compiler
|
|
|
|
### Windows Requirements ###
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft Visual C++ v7.1 or newer
|
|
|
|
### Cygwin Requirements ###
|
|
|
|
* Cygwin v1.5.25-14 or newer
|
|
|
|
### Mac OS X Requirements ###
|
|
|
|
* Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger or newer
|
|
* XCode Developer Tools
|
|
|
|
Also, you'll need [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) v2.6.4 or higher if
|
|
you want to build the samples using the provided CMake script, regardless
|
|
of the platform.
|
|
|
|
### Requirements for Contributors ###
|
|
|
|
We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
|
|
build Google Test and its own tests from a git checkout (described
|
|
below), which has further requirements:
|
|
|
|
* [Python](http://python.org/) v2.3 or newer (for running some of
|
|
the tests and re-generating certain source files from templates)
|
|
* [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) v2.6.4 or newer
|
|
|
|
## Regenerating Source Files ##
|
|
|
|
Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
|
|
in the C++ sense) using a script.
|
|
For example, the
|
|
file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
|
|
gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to worry about regenerating the source files
|
|
unless you need to modify them. You would then modify the
|
|
corresponding `.pump` files and run the '[pump.py](googletest/scripts/pump.py)'
|
|
generator script. See the [Pump Manual](googletest/docs/PumpManual.md).
|
|
|
|
### Contributing Code ###
|
|
|
|
We welcome patches. Please read the
|
|
[Developer's Guide](googletest/docs/DevGuide.md)
|
|
for how you can contribute. In particular, make sure you have signed
|
|
the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the
|
|
patch.
|
|
|
|
Happy testing!
