C/C++ testing framework

[kevinchkin]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering, if someone could please suggest me some C/C++ testing frameworks. I checked out Checks and right now looking into Boost. Please let me know, if you guys have some recommendations which are good for beginners.

Thanks

Have you looked at Kent Beck's Test Driven Development?

I've used a number of them, most recently CppUnitLite and Boost Test. For C++, Boost Test is the way to go. I have used it exclusively for the past 3 years. It makes it simple to test the easy stuff and possible to test the hard stuff.

The only complaint that I have against Boost Test is that the author has allowed changes to the API a few times now and it gets tiresome to keep up with these changes. It makes it especially difficult when you have to support code across multiple platforms, each with different versions of Boost installed.

However, that said, the changes have been minor and less bothersome than trying to use any of the other tools I've tried.
