+# 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).
+
+#### 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 1.12.1
+
+[Release 1.12.1](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/release-1.12.1)
+is now available.
+
+The 1.12.x branch will be the last to support C++11. Future releases will
+require at least C++14.
+
+#### 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
+
+*   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++14 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!

+*   Linux
+*   macOS
+*   Windows
+
+### Compilers
+
+*   gcc 5.0+

+
+### Build Systems
+
+*   [Bazel](https://bazel.build/)

+
+**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.

+    interchange format.
+*   The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.
