[Cppunit-devel] Most user-friendly version of CppUnit

[Bob J. <bjo...@pc...>]

CppUnit Gurus,
 
            With all the different ports of JUnit to other programming
languages I can't find one for C++ that is as easy to install and use as
JUnit.  Is there a version of CppUnit that operates under the Windows XP
operating system and is as straightforward to install and use as JUnit?

Depending on what you're expecting, I'm not sure you'll be able to get what you want since JUnit uses reflection to "know" the names of your test cases while C++ doesn't have reflection.

I think, once you start using CppUnit, it's pretty easy to use.  In order to get automagic knowledge of test case names, in our build, I put together a script using typical command-line tools (eg perl, sed, awk, grep) so in practice, it's possible to get
what JUnit affords, but it'll take a little more work.

HTH,
Noel
