22 ## Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
24 This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and GoogleMock
25 projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense to maintain and
26 release them together.
28 Please subscribe to the mailing list at googletestframework@googlegroups.com for
29 questions, discussions, and development.
33 The information for **Google Test** is available in the
34 [Google Test Primer](googletest/docs/primer.md) documentation.
36 **Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock
37 classes. See the separate [Google Mock documentation](googlemock/README.md).
39 More detailed documentation for googletest is in its interior
40 [googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md) file.
44 * An [xUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit) test framework.
46 * A rich set of assertions.
47 * User-defined assertions.
49 * Fatal and non-fatal failures.
50 * Value-parameterized tests.
51 * Type-parameterized tests.
52 * Various options for running the tests.
53 * XML test report generation.
57 Google test has been used on a variety of platforms:
68 ## Who Is Using Google Test?
70 In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test is also used by the
71 following notable projects:
73 * The [Chromium projects](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome browser
75 * The [LLVM](http://llvm.org/) compiler.
76 * [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf), Google's data
78 * The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.
79 * [tiny-dnn](https://github.com/tiny-dnn/tiny-dnn): header only,
80 dependency-free deep learning framework in C++11.

90 displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google
91 Test UI is written in C#.
93 [GTest TAP Listener](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an event
94 listener for Google Test that implements the
95 [TAP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) for test
96 result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.
98 [gtest-parallel](https://github.com/google/gtest-parallel) is a test runner that
99 runs tests from your binary in parallel to provide significant speed-up.
