I had trouble getting CppUnit to compile with metrowerks, and it seemed a bit too complicated anyways. The simplest unit testing framework I have found so far is here http://www.cuj.com/articles/2000/0009/0009d/0009d.htm Isn't as fancy as some of the other testers, but it does a lot with very few lines of code. ----- Original Message ----- From: srivatsan raghavan To: Boost-Users@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 12:23 AM Subject: [Boost-Users] unit testing framework for c++ in boost? anyone know if there are plans to write a unit testing framework in boost? i've checked out unit++ , the interface doesn't seem very intuitive, and it seems rather feature limited and i kinda like CppUnit, but i get the feeling that since it's very similar to JUnit's interface, it's not as c++ friendly as it could be .. anyone know? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I haven't tried unit++. I've been using CppUnit. Since C++ doesn't have reflection, it won't be able to do what JUnit does (ie automagically extrapolate the list of test cases). Although I haven't tried it, I think a script may be written to perform this magic to produce something consumable by CppUnit. Has anyone seen anything like this? All in all, though, it's not that much of a pain to maintain the list of test cases. Noel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
