## Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
|
|
|
|
This 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.
|
|
|
|
Please subscribe to the mailing list at googletestframework@googlegroups.com for
|
|
questions, discussions, and development.
|
|
|
|
### Getting started:
|
|
|
|
The information for **Google Test** is available in the
|
|
[Google Test Primer](googletest/docs/primer.md) documentation.
|
|
|
|
**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock
|
|
classes. See the separate [Google Mock documentation](googlemock/README.md).
|
|
|
|
More detailed documentation for googletest is in its interior
|
|
[googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md) file.

[GTest TAP Listener](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an event
|
|
listener for Google Test that implements the

|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build and use
|
|
with your projects, but there are some. If you notice any problems on your
|
|
platform, please notify
|
|
[googletestframework@googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/googletestframework).
|
|
Patches for fixing them are welcome!
|
|
|
|
### Build Requirements
|
|
|
|
These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source
|
|
package:
|
|
|
|
* [Bazel](https://bazel.build/) or [CMake](https://cmake.org/). NOTE: Bazel is
|
|
the build system that googletest is using internally and tests against.
|
|
CMake is community-supported.
|
|
|
|
* a C++11-standard-compliant compiler
