mettle is a "batteries included" unit testing framework for C++17. Its mission is to provide a full toolbox to address your testing needs and to look good doing it.
Expectations (assertions) are defined using composable matchers that automatically generate human-readable output, ensuring even complex objects are easy to test.
Suites group your tests together and can be nested as deeply as you need, so you can use their hierarchy to set up and tear down your fixtures for you.
Type- and value-parameterized tests let you write your tests once and apply them to multiple implementations or preconditions.
The mettle unified test runner makes it a snap to write multiple, independent
test files – even ones running completely different kinds of tests – and
aggregate them into a single list of results.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and code's almost as good (I'm sure it's worth at least 100 words), so let's take a look at a test file:
#include <mettle.hpp>
using namespace mettle;
suite<> basic("a basic suite", [](auto &_) {
_.test("a test", []() {
expect(true, equal_to(true));
});
for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
_.test("test number " + std::to_string(i), [i]() {
expect(i % 2, less(2));
});
}
subsuite<>(_, "a subsuite", [](auto &_) {
_.test("a sub-test", []() {
expect(true, equal_to(true));
});
});
