Abstract

Unit testing is proved to be vital for a successful software development process. Modern languages, such as Python, Java and C#, have a great support and tools for unit testing. But when it comes to C++, there are a big number of C++ frameworks available [List], and it becomes hard to make a choice of unit testing framework to use. This paper presents a survey of open source C++ unit testing frameworks by dividing open source C++ unit testing frameworks into two groups: frameworks with an integrated test runner and frameworks with a separate test runner.

소프트웨어 개발을 성공적으로 수행하기 위하여서 유닛 테스팅은 아주 필수 불가결한 요소이다. Python, Java, C# 등의 현대 컴퓨터 개발 언어에서는 유닛 테스팅을 용이하게 하기 위하여 다양한 기능을 제공하고 있다. 하지만, C++ 언어에 있어서는 워낙 많은 프레임워크를 제공하고 있는 관계로, 유닛 테스팅을 위한 프레임워크 선택이 결코 용이하지 않다. 이 논문에서는 C++ 언어에서의 유닛 테스팅을 위한 프레임워크를 집약된 test runner와 분리된 test runner의 두 그룹으로 나눠서 고찰하였다.
