# Google Test #[](https://travis-ci.org/google/googletest)[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/GoogleTestAppVeyor/googletest/branch/master)**Future Plans**:* 1.8.x Release - the 1.8.x will be the last release that works with pre-C++11 compilers. The 1.8.x will not accept any requests for any new features and any bugfix requests will only be accepted if proven "critical"* Post 1.8.x - work to improve/cleanup/pay technical debt. When this work is completed there will be a 1.9.x tagged release* Post 1.9.x googletest will follow [Abseil Live at Head philosophy](https://abseil.io/about/philosophy)Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest andGoogleMock projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense tomaintain and release them together.Please see the project page above for more information as well as themailing list for questions, discussions, and development. There isalso an IRC channel on [OFTC](https://webchat.oftc.net/) (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Pleasejoin us!Getting started 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++ mockclasses. See the separate [Google Mock documentation](googlemock/README.md).More detailed documentation for googletest (including build instructions) arein its interior [googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md) file.## Features ##* An [xUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit) test framework.* Test discovery.* A rich set of assertions.* User-defined assertions.* Death tests.* Fatal and non-fatal failures.* Value-parameterized tests.* Type-parameterized tests.* Various options for running the tests.* 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 bythe following notable projects:* The [Chromium projects](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chromebrowser and Chrome OS).* The [LLVM](http://llvm.org/) compiler.* [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf), Google's datainterchange format.* The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.* [tiny-dnn](https://github.com/tiny-dnn/tiny-dnn): header only, dependency-free deep learning framework in C++11.## Related Open Source Projects ##[GTest Runner](https://github.com/nholthaus/gtest-runner) is a Qt5 based automated test-runner and Graphical User Interface with powerful features for Windows and Linux platforms.[Google Test UI](https://github.com/ospector/gtest-gbar) is test runner that runsyour test binary, allows you to track its progress via a progress bar, anddisplays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. GoogleTest UI is written in C#.[GTest TAP Listener](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an eventlistener for Google Test that implements the[TAP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) for testresult output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.[gtest-parallel](https://github.com/google/gtest-parallel) is a test runner thatruns tests from your binary in parallel to provide significant speed-up.[GoogleTest Adapter](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidSchuldenfrei.gtest-adapter) is a VS Code extension allowing to view Google Tests in a tree view, and run/debug your tests.## Requirements ##Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to buildand use with your projects, but there are some. Currently, we supportLinux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will also make our besteffort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris, AIX, and z/OS).However, since core members of the Google Test project have no accessto these platforms, Google Test may have outstanding issues there. Ifyou notice any problems on your platform, please notify[googletestframework@googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/googletestframework). Patches for fixing them areeven more welcome!### Linux Requirements ###These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a sourcepackage (as described below):* GNU-compatible Make or gmake* POSIX-standard shell* POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)* A C++98-standard-compliant compiler### Windows Requirements ###* Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or newer### Cygwin Requirements ###* Cygwin v1.5.25-14 or newer### Mac OS X Requirements ###* Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger or newer* Xcode Developer Tools## Contributing changePlease read the [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details onhow to contribute to this project.Happy testing!
