Package: googletest (1.8.0-6)

Google's C++ test framework

This package combines formerly-separate Google Test and Google Mock.

Google Test is a framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms. Based on the xUnit architecture. Supports automatic test discovery, a rich set of assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, fatal and non-fatal failures, value- and type-parameterized tests, various options for running the tests, and XML test report generation.

Google Mock is an extension of Google Test for C++ mocking. Inspired by jMock, EasyMock, and Hamcrest, and designed with C++'s specifics in mind, it can help you derive better designs of your system and write better tests.

Google Mock:

 - provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks,
 - can easily define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real
   and mock objects,
 - handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions,
 - comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments,
 - uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock,
 - does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay
   needed),
 - allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on
   function calls to be expressed,
 - lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
 - does not use exceptions, and
 - is easy to learn and use.

NOTE: This package does not contain a library to link against, but rather the source code to build the google test library; this is because the google test library must be built with the same flags as the C++ code under test.
