Abstract
Unit testing is proved to be vital for a successful software development process. Modern languages, such as Python, Java and C#, have a great support and tools for unit testing. But when it comes to C++, there are a big number of C++ frameworks available [List], and it becomes hard to make a choice of unit testing framework to use. This paper presents a survey of open source C++ unit testing frameworks by dividing open source C++ unit testing frameworks into two groups: frameworks with an integrated test runner and frameworks with a separate test runner.
