About:
Unittest is a lightweight, portable C++ unit testing framework designed for simplicity and ease of integration. It provides a straightforward API for writing test cases and assertions without external dependencies. The framework focuses on delivering essential testing capabilities with minimal overhead, making it ideal for embedded systems and cross-platform development.
Key Features:
  • Zero-dependency header-only library
  • Simple and intuitive API
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Minimal runtime overhead
  • Rich assertion library
Use Cases:
  • Unit testing C++ applications in resource-constrained environments
  • Regression testing for embedded systems and IoT devices
  • Continuous integration pipelines for C++ projects
Alternatives:
  • Google Test – More feature-rich but heavier dependency with complex build requirements
  • Catch2 – Header-only with BDD syntax, similar ease of use but different assertion style
  • Boost.Test – Part of Boost ecosystem, more comprehensive but requires Boost installation
