Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
|
|
|
|
This GitHub repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and GoogleMock projects.
|
|
These were so closely related that it makes sense to maintain and release them together.
|
|
|
|
## GoogleTest ##
|
|
|
|
Based on the [XUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit) architecture.
|
|
Supports automatic test discovery, a rich set of assertions, user-defined
|
|
assertions, death tests, fatal and non-fatal failures, value- and
|
|
type-parameterized tests, various options for running the tests, and XML test
|
|
report generation.
|
|
|
|
## Platforms ##
|
|
|
|
Google test has been used on a variety of platforms:
|
|
|
|
* Linux
|
|
* Mac OS X
|
|
* Windows
|
|
* Cygwin
|
|
* MinGW
|
|
* Windows Mobile
|
|
* Symbian
|
|
|
|
## Who Is Using Google Test? ##
|
|
|
|
In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test is also used by
|
|
the following notable projects:
|
|
|
|
* The [Chromium projects](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome browser and Chrome OS)
|
|
* The [LLVM](http://llvm.org/) compiler
|
|
* [Protocol Buffers](http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/) (Google's data interchange format)
|
|
* The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library
|
|
|
|
## Google Test-related open source projects ##
|
|
|
|
[Google Test UI](http://code.google.com/p/gtest-gbar/) is test runner that runs
|
|
your test binary, allows you to track its progress via a progress bar, and
|
|
displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google
|
|
Test UI is written in C#.
|
|
|
|
[GTest TAP Listener](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an event
|
|
listener for Google Test that implements the
|
|
[TAP protocol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) for test
|
|
result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.
|
|
|
|
## About Google Mock ##
|
|
|
|
**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock classes.
|
|
It is inspired by [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/), [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/),
|
|
and [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/), and designed with C++'s specifics in mind.
|
|
|
|
Google mock:
|
|
|
|
* lets you create mock classes trivially using simple macros.
|
|
* supports a rich set of matchers and actions.
|
|
* handles unordered, partially ordered, or completely ordered expectations.
|
|
* is extensible by users.
|
|
|
|
We hope you find it useful!

## Using Google Mock Without Google Test ##
|
|
Google Mock is not a testing framework itself. Instead, it needs a
|
|
testing framework for writing tests. Google Mock works seamlessly
|
|
with [Google Test](http://code.google.com/p/googletest/), butj
|
|
you can also use it with [any C++ testing framework](googlemock/ForDummies.md#Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework).
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started ##
|
|
|
|
If you are new to the project, we suggest that you read the user
|
|
documentation in the following order:
|
|
|
|
* Learn the [basics](http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/Primer) of Google Test, if you choose to use Google Mock with it (recommended).
|
|
* Read [Google Mock for Dummies](ForDummies.md).
|
|
* Read the instructions on how to [build Google Mock](http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/source/browse/trunk/README).
|
|
|
|
You can also watch Zhanyong's [talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYpCyLI47rM) on Google Mock's usage and implementation.
|
|
|
|
Once you understand the basics, check out the rest of the docs:
|
|
|
|
* [CheatSheet](googlemock/docs/CheatSheet.md) - all the commonly used stuff at a glance.
|
|
* [CookBook](googlemock/docs/CookBook.md) - recipes for getting things done, including advanced techniques.

If you need help, please check the [KnownIssues](googlemock/docs/KnownIssues.md) and
|
|
[FrequentlyAskedQuestions](googlemock/docs/frequentlyaskedquestions.md) before
|
|
posting a question on the [googlemock discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googlemock).

We'd love to have your help! Please read the Developer Guides if you are willing to contribute to the development.

Happy mocking!
