## 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
The information for **GoogleTest** is available in the
[GoogleTest Primer](googletest/docs/primer.md) documentation.
**GoogleMock** is an extension to GoogleTest for writing and using C++ mock
classes. See the separate [GoogleMock documentation](googlemock/README.md).
More detailed documentation for googletest is in its interior
[googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md) file.
## Features
* An [xUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit) test framework.
* Test discovery.
* A rich set of assertions.
* User-defined assertions.
* Death tests.
* Fatal and non-fatal failures.
* Value-parameterized tests.
* Type-parameterized tests.
* Various options for running the tests.
* XML test report generation.
## Supported Platforms
GoogleTest requires a codebase and compiler compliant with the C++11 standard or
newer.
The GoogleTest code is officially supported on the following platforms.
Operating systems or tools not listed below are community-supported. For
community-supported platforms, patches that do not complicate the code may be
considered.
If you notice any problems on your platform, please file an issue on the
[GoogleTest GitHub Issue Tracker](https://github.com/google/googletest/issues).
Pull requests containing fixes are welcome!
### Operating Systems
* Linux
* macOS
* Windows
### Compilers
* gcc 5.0+
* clang 5.0+
* MSVC 2015+
**macOS users:** Xcode 9.3+ provides clang 5.0+.
### Build Systems
* [Bazel](https://bazel.build/)
* [CMake](https://cmake.org/)
**Note:** Bazel is the build system used by the team internally and in tests.
CMake is supported on a best-effort basis and by the community.
## Who Is Using GoogleTest?
In addition to many internal projects at Google, GoogleTest is also used by the
following notable projects:
* The [Chromium projects](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome browser
and Chrome OS).
* The [LLVM](http://llvm.org/) compiler.
* [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf), Google's data
interchange format.
* The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.

automated test-runner and Graphical User Interface with powerful features for
Windows and Linux platforms.
[GoogleTest UI](https://github.com/ospector/gtest-gbar) is a test runner that
runs your test binary, allows you to track its progress via a progress bar, and
displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google
Test UI is written in C#.
[GTest TAP Listener](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an event
listener for GoogleTest that implements the
[TAP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) for test
result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.

runs tests from your binary in parallel to provide significant speed-up.
