+# GoogleTest
+
+### Announcements
+
+#### Live at Head
+
+GoogleTest now follows the
+[Abseil Live at Head philosophy](https://abseil.io/about/philosophy#upgrade-support).
+We recommend
+[updating to the latest commit in the `main` branch as often as possible](https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/master/FAQ.md#what-is-live-at-head-and-how-do-i-do-it).
+We do publish occasional semantic versions, tagged with
+`v${major}.${minor}.${patch}` (e.g. `v1.14.0`).
+
+#### Documentation Updates
+
+Our documentation is now live on GitHub Pages at
+https://google.github.io/googletest/. We recommend browsing the documentation on
+GitHub Pages rather than directly in the repository.
+
+#### Release 1.14.0
+
+[Release 1.14.0](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/v1.14.0) is
+now available.
+
+The 1.14.x branch requires at least C++14.
+
+#### Continuous Integration
+
+We use Google's internal systems for continuous integration. \
+GitHub Actions were added for the convenience of open-source contributors. They
+are exclusively maintained by the open-source community and not used by the
+GoogleTest team.
+
+#### Coming Soon
+
+*   We are planning to take a dependency on
+    [Abseil](https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp).
+*   More documentation improvements are planned.
+
+## 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
+
+See the [GoogleTest User's Guide](https://google.github.io/googletest/) for
+documentation. We recommend starting with the
+[GoogleTest Primer](https://google.github.io/googletest/primer.html).
+
+More information about building GoogleTest can be found at
+[googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md).
+
+## Features
+
+*   xUnit test framework: \
+    Googletest is based on the [xUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit)
+    testing framework, a popular architecture for unit testing
+*   Test discovery: \
+    Googletest automatically discovers and runs your tests, eliminating the need
+    to manually register your tests
+*   Rich set of assertions: \
+    Googletest provides a variety of assertions, such as equality, inequality,
+    exceptions, and more, making it easy to test your code
+*   User-defined assertions: \
+    You can define your own assertions with Googletest, making it simple to
+    write tests that are specific to your code
+*   Death tests: \
+    Googletest supports death tests, which verify that your code exits in a
+    certain way, making it useful for testing error-handling code
+*   Fatal and non-fatal failures: \
+    You can specify whether a test failure should be treated as fatal or
+    non-fatal with Googletest, allowing tests to continue running even if a
+    failure occurs
+*   Value-parameterized tests: \
+    Googletest supports value-parameterized tests, which run multiple times with
+    different input values, making it useful for testing functions that take
+    different inputs
+*   Type-parameterized tests: \
+    Googletest also supports type-parameterized tests, which run with different
+    data types, making it useful for testing functions that work with different
+    data types
+*   Various options for running tests: \
+    Googletest provides many options for running tests including running
+    individual tests, running tests in a specific order and running tests in
+    parallel
+
+## Supported Platforms
+
+GoogleTest follows Google's
+[Foundational C++ Support Policy](https://opensource.google/documentation/policies/cplusplus-support).
+See
+[this table](https://github.com/google/oss-policies-info/blob/main/foundational-cxx-support-matrix.md)
+for a list of currently supported versions of compilers, platforms, and build
+tools.
+
+## Who Is Using GoogleTest?
+
+In addition to many internal projects at Google, GoogleTest is also used by the
+following notable projects:
+
+*   The [Chromium projects](https://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome
+    browser and Chrome OS).
+*   The [LLVM](https://llvm.org/) compiler.
+*   [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf), Google's data
+    interchange format.
+*   The [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/) computer vision library.

+
+[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. GoogleTest
+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.
+
+[gtest-parallel](https://github.com/google/gtest-parallel) is a test runner that
+runs tests from your binary in parallel to provide significant speed-up.
