Introduction

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.
