CppUnit

CppUnit is a <a href="/facts/Unit_Test/SYoGGS3T">unit testing</a> framework module for the <a href="/facts/C%252B%252B/Et0F2qn9">C++ programming language</a>. It allows unit-testing of <a href="/facts/C_/Ky2No763">C</a> sources as well as C++ with minimal source modification. It was started around 2000 by Michael Feathers as a C++ <a href="/facts/Porting/7s6tFs8B">port</a> of <a href="/facts/JUnit/zlddF9S2">JUnit</a> for Windows and ported to Unix by Jerome Lacoste. The library is released under the <a href="/facts/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License/AXwkz9x3">GNU Lesser General Public License</a>.
The framework runs tests in suites. Test result output is sent to a filter, the most basic being a simple pass or fail count printed out, or more advanced filters allowing XML output compatible with <a href="/facts/Continuous_integration/M4RYgSzt">continuous integration</a> reporting systems.
The project has been <a href="/facts/Fork_(software_development)/D6khxhpr">forked</a> several times. The <a href="/facts/Freedesktop.org/qGlctGYA">freedesktop.org</a> version at <a href="https://github.com/freedesktop/libreoffice-cppunit">GitHub</a>, maintained by Markus Mohrhard of the <a href="/facts/LibreOffice/MInj5kF7">LibreOffice</a> project (which uses CppUnit heavily), was actively maintained until 2020, and is used in <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distributions</a> such as <a href="/facts/Debian/cBd93qfJ">Debian</a>, <a href="/facts/Ubuntu_Linux/0WDd7hkb">Ubuntu</a>, <a href="/facts/Gentoo_Linux/zX81Cqs8">Gentoo</a> and <a href="/facts/Arch_Linux/MTFCkLqH">Arch</a>.
