I’ve been sharpening up the C++ lately. I have found it interesting that there does not seem to be a de-facto unit testing library. There are plenty of options to choose from. I have decided to run with Google Test if for no other reason than it seems to be somewhat active and updated. I put together a quick pair of screen casts that walk through getting started with Google Test. I’m using a Mac running Lion (10.8.2) at this time, but believe these directions should be the same for most linux builds.
Enjoy
