The CxxTest package for Visual Studio.NET provides Visual Studio users who are developing C++ code with a graphical user interface for CxxTest.

CxxTest is a unit-testing framework for C++ development that behaves similarly to unit-testing frameworks for other languages, such as JUnit. This package provides integration with Visual Studio.NET. Some key features are:

  • Automatically detects test suites in a project by navigating the project's C++ source tree and code model
  • Generates a source file to run all test suites that will be compiled with the containing project
  • Select/deselect which test cases will be executed without altering their code

  • Test results appear in a dockable CxxTest tool window in the IDE
