Doctest
doctest is a unit testing framework and assertion library for C++ delivered as a single-header library. It provides a test runner with a command line interface to execute tests, filter test suites, and generate execution reports.
The framework supports in-source unit testing and allows for the complete removal of testing logic from compiled binaries via preprocessor stripping to eliminate performance overhead in production environments. It also enables cross-binary test registry sharing, allowing one executable to utilize the test runner of another.
Capabilities include parameterized testing, thread-safe assertion verification for concurrent software validation, and automated test reporting for regression analysis. It utilizes automatic test registration to collect test cases without requiring manual lists of functions to execute.
Features
- Unit Testing Frameworks - Provides a comprehensive framework for writing and executing isolated unit tests to verify C++ logic.
- Thread-Safe Assertions - Implements thread-safe assertion verification to validate shared data consistency in concurrent software.
- Testing Logic Stripping - Allows the complete removal of testing logic from compiled binaries via preprocessor stripping for production environments.
- Production Logic Exclusion - Provides a mechanism to remove all testing logic from the compiled executable to eliminate production performance overhead.
