These were so closely related that it makes sense to +maintain and release them together. + +Please see the project page above for more information as well as the +mailing list for questions, discussions, and development. There is +also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Please +join us! + +Getting started information for **Google Test** is available in the +[Google Test Primer](googletest/docs/Primer.md) documentation. + +**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock +classes. See the separate [Google Mock documentation](googlemock/README.md). + +More detailed documentation for googletest (including build instructions) are +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. + +## Platforms ## + +Google test has been used on a variety of platforms: + + * Linux + * Mac OS X + * Windows + * Cygwin + * MinGW + * Windows Mobile + * Symbian + +## Who Is Using Google Test? ## + +In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test 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. + +## Related Open Source Projects ## + +[Google Test UI](https://github.com/ospector/gtest-gbar) is 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 Google Test 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. + +## Requirements ## + +Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build +and use with your projects, but there are some. Currently, we support +Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will also make our best +effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris, AIX, and z/OS). +However, since core members of the Google Test project have no access +to these platforms, Google Test may have outstanding issues there. If +you notice any problems on your platform, please notify +<googletestframework@googlegroups.com>. Patches for fixing them are +even more welcome! + +### Linux Requirements ### + +These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source +package (as described below): + + * GNU-compatible Make or gmake + * POSIX-standard shell + * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h) + * A C++98-standard-compliant compiler + +### Windows Requirements ### + + * Microsoft Visual C++ v7.1 or newer + +### Cygwin Requirements ### + + * Cygwin v1.5.25-14 or newer + +### Mac OS X Requirements ### + + * Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger or newer + * Xcode Developer Tools + +### Requirements for Contributors ### + +We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to +build Google Test and its own tests from a git checkout (described +below), which has further requirements: + + * [Python](https://www.python.org/) v2.3 or newer (for running some of + the tests and re-generating certain source files from templates) + * [CMake](https://cmake.org/) v2.6.4 or newer + +## Regenerating Source Files ## + +Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not +in the C++ sense) using a script. +For example, the +file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate +gtest-type-util.h in the same directory. + +You don't need to worry about regenerating the source files +unless you need to modify them. You would then modify the +corresponding `.pump` files and run the '[pump.py](googletest/scripts/pump.py)' +generator script. See the [Pump Manual](googletest/docs/PumpManual.md). + +### Contributing Code ### + +We welcome patches. Please read the +[Developer's Guide](googletest/docs/DevGuide.md) +for how you can contribute. In particular, make sure you have signed +the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the +patch. + +Happy testing! |
