C++ test framework for TDD

[Alexander Eisenhuth]

Hello alltogether,

I'm new to this group, so please tell me, if there is a better place to ask ...

I'm also new to the TDD (test driven development) aproach. I just started to
learn about the development process. As test framework I heard about CppUnit.

Does anyone here do TDD with C++ as programming language? What test frameworks
do you use? What are your experiences?

Thanks in forward for all hints and comments

Regards
Alexander

Check out CppUnit or unit++. CppUnit is a direkt port from JUnit to C++,
while unit++ claims to be more "C++-like".
However, I found the unit++ documentation to be lacking, so I use
CppUnit and I'm happy with it (especially when you're also using JUnit
for Java development).

Matthias

boost::test is a fully featured and yet lightweight framework easily
adapted to your development environment. in my experience test
framworks never quite do what you need out-of-the-box, which is why i
like the extensibility in particular.

additionally boost::test easily scales and feels comfortable for small
pet projects as well as the large scale flavour...

Further comment - I've implemented a unit test framework for my
company based completely on the Boost test library, and I'm very
happy how it turned out. It's not perfect, but it's a good fraction
of the way to perfect. :-)
