Discuss testing frameworks

[Morwenn]

Testing frameworks are a whole thing by themselves. I only ever used Catch but have often heard about Boost.Test, CppUnit and Google Test. Anything you'd like to nominate?

bandit's pretty dope

Yeah, I heard many good things about bandit too, but the syntax is ... special. Maybe it belongs next to catch? who actually uses it?

[nabijaczleweli]

It's not "special" it's the other common testing "pattern" (mostly used by FP, ICBWT).

[Morwenn]

Looks like Jasmine. Also Catch has started to introduce matchers too even though they're still experimental and not really documented.

I hate it, but if you can find a project that actually uses it, I guess it can be nominated.

I've used Google Test a few times. It's quite simple to set up and get going. I just stayed in the basic use cases though so I can't tell the true power of the tool.
