I saw the documentation of that feature is seem pretty major since it's in Google Test overview features and detailed in: https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/docs/advanced.md#death-tests They look like standard assert() but they're part of Google Test, so a xUnit testing framework. Therefore, I wonder what the real usage or advantage of using those death tests are. The assertion is there to confirm that a function would bring about program termination if it were executed in the current process (the details explains that the death test is invoked from a subprocess which

It seems like there are a few answers that kind-of, sort-of make sense, but that I don't know how to carry out. And I haven't found a comprehensive answer. The First Problem Google Test should not be an installed library, it should be built with the project. (See the FAQ .) As far as I can tell, this means the Google Test libraries are a dependency of my unit tests, and should be built when I run "make check" within my project for the first time. This should build Google Test libraries in some directory. I don't know how to do this. It mentions some autotools script that's deprecated, and I'm

I am new to programming in general so I decided that I would start by making a simple vector class in C++. However I would like to get in to good habits from the start rather than trying to modify my workflow later on. I currently have only two files vector3.hpp and vector3.cpp . This project will slowly start to grow (making it much more of a general linear algebra library) as I become more familiar with everything, so I would like to adopt a "standard" project layout to make life easier later on. So after looking around I have found two ways to go about organizing hpp and cpp files, the

I am looking to compare two arrays in google test. In UnitTest++ this is done through CHECK_ARRAY_EQUAL. How do you do it in google test? vava I would really suggest looking at Google C++ Mocking Framework . Even if you don't want to mock anything, it allows you to write rather complicated assertions with ease. For example //checks that vector v is {5, 10, 15} ASSERT_THAT(v, ElementsAre(5, 10, 15)); //checks that map m only have elements 1 => 10, 2 => 20 ASSERT_THAT(m, ElementsAre(Pair(1, 10), Pair(2, 20))); //checks that in vector v all the elements are greater than 10 and less than 20 ASSERT

Using Google Test 1.6 (Windows 7, Visual Studio C++). How can I turn off a given test? (aka how can I prevent a test from running). Is there anything I can do besides commenting out the whole test? Bill The docs for Google Test 1.7 suggest : "If you have a broken test that you cannot fix right away, you can add the DISABLED_ prefix to its name. This will exclude it from execution." Examples: // Tests that Foo does Abc. TEST(FooTest, DISABLED_DoesAbc) { ... } class DISABLED_BarTest : public ::testing::Test { ... }; // Tests that Bar does Xyz. TEST_F(DISABLED_BarTest, DoesXyz) { ... } Kiril You
