- Catch stands for C++ Automated Test Cases in Headers and is a
- multi-paradigm automated test framework for C++ and Objective-C
- (and, maybe, C). It is implemented entirely in a set of header
- files, but is packaged up as a single header for extra convenience.
- Key features:
- - Really easy to get started. Just download catch.hpp,
- #include it and you're away.
- - No external dependencies. As long as you can compile
- C++98 and have a C++ standard library available.
- - Write test cases as, self-registering, functions or
- methods.
- - Divide test cases into sections, each of which is run
- in isolation (eliminates the need for fixtures!)
- - Use BDD-style Given-When-Then sections as well as
- traditional unit test cases.
- - Only one core assertion macro for comparisons.
- Standard C/C++ operators are used for the comparison -
- yet the full expression is decomposed and lhs and rhs
- values are logged.
- Note: To enable Catch's self-tests, export SELFTEST=yes in the
- script's environment. This doesn't affect the binary package that gets
- built.
