cipra Unit Testing Framework

@mainpage

cipra is a simple, TAP-compatible Unit Testing Framework for C++.
cipra is Free and Open Source Software, released under a 3-clause
BSD-style license. It's written in 100% standard C++11 and is only a
couple header files, making it easy to include in your C++11 project.

TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, is a standard output format for
software unit test frameworks that was originally designed for Perl,
but can serve other languages. It has a rich number of tools
("harnesses") that parse TAP formatted output and do useful things
with it. TAP, however, is equally human-readable.

The name cipra (pronounced /ˈʃi.pɾaː/ "SHEE-prah") comes from the
lojban phrase "lo cipra", which means "the test". It is properly
written with an initial minuscule 'c', even when at the start of a
sentence.

Included in this distribution are several other files for your
reference:

• INSTALL: Instructions for installation and configuration.
• COPYING: License clarifications.
  • COPYING.bsd: 3-clause BSD-style license.
  • COPYING.ccby: CC-BY 3.0 US license.
• AUTHORS: Author(s) of the software.
• NEWS: Changes between releases.

Usage

You can find a tutorial on the Tutorial page or in the
tutorial.md file in the doc/ directory.

Where possible, cipra's test interface is analogous to Perl's
Test::More module.

To use cipra, just include the cipra.hpp header file in your test
file. You do not need to link to any library. All methods are inline
in the header files; there is no need to compile cipra.
