Announcements

Live at Head

GoogleTest now follows the Abseil Live at Head philosophy. We recommend using the latest commit in the main branch in your projects.

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 1.11.0

Release 1.11.0 is now available.

Coming Soon

• We are planning to take a dependency on Abseil.
• 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 for documentation. We recommend starting with the GoogleTest Primer.

More information about building GoogleTest can be found at googletest/README.md.

Features

• An 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. Pull requests containing fixes are welcome!
