# GoogleTest

### Announcements

#### Documentation Updates

Our documentation is now live on GitHub Pages at
https://google.github.io/googletest/. We recommend browsing the documentation on
GitHub Pages rather than directly in the repository.

#### Release 1.18.0

[Release 1.18.0](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/v1.18.0) is
now available.

The 1.18.x branch
[requires at least C++17](https://opensource.google/documentation/policies/cplusplus-support#c_language_standard).

#### Continuous Integration

We use Google's internal systems for continuous integration.

#### Coming Soon

*   We are planning to take a dependency on
    [Abseil](https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp).

## Welcome to **GoogleTest**, Google's C++ test framework!

This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and GoogleMock
projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense to maintain and
release them together.

### Getting Started

See the [GoogleTest User's Guide](https://google.github.io/googletest/) for
documentation. We recommend starting with the
[GoogleTest Primer](https://google.github.io/googletest/primer.html).

More information about building GoogleTest can be found at
[googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md).

## Features

*   xUnit test framework: \
    Googletest is based on the [xUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit)
    testing framework, a popular architecture for unit testing.
*   Test discovery: \
    Googletest automatically discovers and runs your tests, eliminating the need
    to manually register your tests.
*   Rich set of assertions: \
    Googletest provides a variety of assertions, such as equality, inequality,
    exceptions, and more, making it easy to test your code.
*   User-defined assertions: \
    You can define your own assertions with Googletest, making it simple to
    write tests that are specific to your code.
*   Death tests: \
    Googletest supports death tests, which verify that your code exits in a
    certain way, making it useful for testing error-handling code.
*   Fatal and non-fatal failures: \
    You can specify whether a test failure should be treated as fatal or
    non-fatal with Googletest, allowing tests to continue running even if a
    failure occurs.
*   Value-parameterized tests: \
    Googletest supports value-parameterized tests, which run multiple times with
    different input values, making it useful for testing functions that take
    different inputs.
*   Type-parameterized tests: \
    Googletest also supports type-parameterized tests, which run with different
    data types, making it useful for testing functions that work with different
    data types.
*   Various options for running tests: \
    Googletest provides many options for running tests including running
    individual tests, running tests in a specific order and running tests in
    parallel.
