| Package: | googletest |
| Version: | 1.8.0-5 |

| Description: | Google's C++ test framework This package combines formerly-separate Google Test and Google Mock. . Google Test is a framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms. Based on the 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. . Google Mock is an extension of Google Test for C++ mocking. Inspired by jMock, EasyMock, and Hamcrest, and designed with C++'s specifics in mind, it can help you derive better designs of your system and write better tests. . Google Mock: . - provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks, - can easily define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real and mock objects, - handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions, - comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments, - uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock, - does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay needed), - allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on function calls to be expressed, - lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions. - does not use exceptions, and - is easy to learn and use. . NOTE: This package does not contain a library to link against, but rather the source code to build the google test library; this is because the google test library must be built with the same flags as the C++ code under test. |
