 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 1.18.0

Release 1.18.0 is
now available.

The 1.18.x branch
requires at least C++17.

 Continuous Integration

We use Google's internal systems for continuous integration.

 Coming Soon

   We are planning to take a dependency on
    Abseil.

 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

   xUnit test framework: \
    Googletest is based on the xUnit
    testing framework, a popular architecture for unit testing.
   Test discovery: \
    Googletest automatically discovers and runs your tests, eliminating the need
    to manually register your tests.
   Rich set of assertions: \
    Googletest provides a variety of assertions, such as equality, inequality,
    exceptions, and more, making it easy to test your code.
   User-defined assertions: \
    You can define your own assertions with Googletest, making it simple to
    write tests that are specific to your code.
   Death tests: \
    Googletest supports death tests, which verify that your code exits in a
    certain way, making it useful for testing error-handling code.
   Fatal and non-fatal failures: \
    You can specify whether a test failure should be treated as fatal or
    non-fatal with Googletest, allowing tests to continue running even if a
    failure occurs.
   Value-parameterized tests: \
    Googletest supports value-parameterized tests, which run multiple times with
    different input values, making it useful for testing functions that take
    different inputs.
   Type-parameterized tests: \
    Googletest also supports type-parameterized tests, which run with different
    data types, making it useful for testing functions that work with different
    data types.
   Various options for running tests: \
    Googletest provides many options for running tests including running
    individual tests, running tests in a specific order and running tests in
    parallel.

 Supported Platforms

GoogleTest follows Google's
Foundational C++ Support Policy.

tools.

 Who Is Using GoogleTest?

In addition to many internal projects at Google, GoogleTest is also used by the
following notable projects:

   The Chromium projects (behind the Chrome
    browser and Chrome OS).
   The LLVM compiler.
   Protocol Buffers, Google's data
    interchange format.
   The OpenCV c

Release Notes

GoogleTest will not accept patches of new features to the v1.18.x branch.  
We recommend building GoogleTest from the latest commit instead.   
Exceptional critical bug fixes may be considered.

 C++ Language Support
 GoogleTest now requires at least C++17 and follows Google's Foundational C++ Support Policy. See this table for a list of currently supported versions compilers, platforms, and build tools.

 Notable Changes
 Set GTEST_INTERNAL_HAS_STRING_VIEW = 1 in googletest as C++17 always supports it
