Welcome! to CppUnit Wiki.
On Feb. 26th, 2008, we upgraded to MoinMoin 1.6.1. Please let JohnWhitlock know by email if you encounter any issues.
What is CppUnit?
CppUnit is a C++ unit testing framework. It started its life as a port of JUnit to C++ by Michael Feathers. For a quick tour of unit testing with CppUnit, see the Cookbook in the latest documentation. For an introduction to unit testing, see UnitTest, ProgrammerTest, and CodeUnitTestFirst at the C2.com wiki.
Features:
XML output with hooks for additional data (XSL format avaliable in release 1.10.2 needs some FiXing)
- Compiler-like text output to integrate with an IDE
- Helper macros for easier test suite declaration
- Hierarchical test fixture support
- Test registry to reduce recompilation need
- Test plug-in for faster compile/test cycle (self testable dynamic library)
- Protector to encapsulate test execution (allow capture of exception not derived from std::exception)

Download
It is recommended to download the latest stable version 1.12. You can find it on the SourceForge download page.
Link to CppUnit 1.12 source, documentation, and a cvs export of the source tarballs.
Link to the CVS What's News file.
CVS
You can get the most recent source from CVS. See instructions in the CVS tab of the SourceForgeProject page about accessing the CVS repository.
Alternatively, if you are behind a strict firewall, you can download the nightly backup tarball of the CVS repository (about 1.2Mo). You'll need to install it as a local CVS repository to use it.
The Future
A set of documents (features, todo...) concerning CppUnit 2 can be found at the following url: http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cppunit2/.
There is a page for CppUnit2 discussions.
