xTests is a testing library for C and C++. Specifically, it is a small, lightweight, portable, simple unit- and component-test framework suitable for exercising C and C++ libraries. Its primary design features are:
- Portability. It relies on no platform-specific or compiler-specific constructs. The only library it relies on is the 100% header-only, open-source STLSoft library. It works with a large number of C/C++ compilers. Importantly, it is sufficiently simple and lightweight that it is bundled with several other open-source libraries, and is an integral part of their automated unit- and component-testing in their builds;
- Simplicity. It doesn't require pre-processing of your source code by scripting languages. It doesn't use macros to create secret classes that use Schwarz counters to register test cases. It relies on you to simply code what you want, and nothing that you don't want.
xTests is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style license.
Detailed instructions - via CMake, via bundling, via custom makefile parameters - are provided in the accompanying INSTALL.md file.
