 |

**Future Plans**:
 | 
						|
* 1.8.x Release - [the 1.8.x](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/release-1.8.1) is the last release that works with pre-C++11 compilers. The 1.8.x will not accept any requests for any new features and any bugfix requests will only be accepted if proven "critical"
 | 
						|
* Post 1.8.x - work to improve/cleanup/pay technical debt. When this work is completed there will be a 1.9.x tagged release
 | 
						|
* Post 1.9.x googletest will follow [Abseil Live at Head philosophy](https://abseil.io/about/philosophy)

 | 
						|
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](https://webchat.oftc.net/) (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available.  Please
 | 
						|
join us!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Getting started information for **Google Test** is available in the
 | 
						|
[Google Test Primer](googletest/docs/primer.md) documentation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**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 documentation for googletest (including build instructions) are
 | 
						|
in its interior [googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md) file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Features ##

 | 
						|
  * 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.
 |

						|
 | 
						|
Google test has been used on a variety of platforms:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * Linux
 | 
						|
  * Mac OS X
 | 
						|
  * Windows
 | 
						|
  * Cygwin

## 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](https://github.com/google/protobuf), Google's data
 | 
						|
    interchange format.
 | 
						|
  * The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.
 | 
						|
  * [tiny-dnn](https://github.com/tiny-dnn/tiny-dnn): header only, dependency-free deep learning framework in C++11.

						|
 | 
						|
[Google Test UI](https://github.com/ospector/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](https://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](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/googletestframework). Patches for fixing them are
 | 
						|
even more welcome!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
