# Google Test #
Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
This GitHub 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.

## About Google Mock ##
## Requirements ##
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build
and use with your projects, but there are some. Currently, we support
Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will also make our best
effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris, AIX, and z/OS).
However, since core members of the Google Test project have no access
to these platforms, Google Test may have outstanding issues there. If
you notice any problems on your platform, please notify
<googletestframework@googlegroups.com>. Patches for fixing them are
even more welcome!
### Linux Requirements ###
These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source
package (as described below):
* GNU-compatible Make or gmake
* POSIX-standard shell
* POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
* A C++98-standard-compliant compiler
### Windows Requirements ###
**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock classes.
It is inspired by [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/), [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/),
and [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/), and designed with C++'s specifics in mind.
* Microsoft Visual C++ v7.1 or newer
Google mock:
### Cygwin Requirements ###
* lets you create mock classes trivially using simple macros.
* supports a rich set of matchers and actions.
* handles unordered, partially ordered, or completely ordered expectations.
* is extensible by users.
* Cygwin v1.5.25-14 or newer
We hope you find it useful!
### Mac OS X Requirements ###
## Using Google Mock Without Google Test ##
Google Mock is not a testing framework itself. Instead, it needs a
testing framework for writing tests. Google Mock works seamlessly
with [Google Test](http://code.google.com/p/googletest/), butj
you can also use it with [any C++ testing framework](googlemock/ForDummies.md#Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework).
* Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger or newer
* XCode Developer Tools
## Getting Started ##
### Requirements for Contributors ###
If you are new to the project, we suggest that you read the user
documentation in the following order:
We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
build Google Test and its own tests from a git checkout (described
below), which has further requirements:
* Learn the [basics](http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/Primer) of Google Test, if you choose to use Google Mock with it (recommended).
* Read [Google Mock for Dummies](ForDummies.md).
* Read the instructions on how to [build Google Mock](http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/source/browse/trunk/README).
* [Python](http://python.org/) v2.3 or newer (for running some of
the tests and re-generating certain source files from templates)
* [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) v2.6.4 or newer
You can also watch Zhanyong's [talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYpCyLI47rM) on Google Mock's usage and implementation.
## Regenerating Source Files ##
Once you understand the basics, check out the rest of the docs:
Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
in the C++ sense) using a script.
For example, the
file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.
* [CheatSheet](googlemock/docs/CheatSheet.md) - all the commonly used stuff at a glance.
* [CookBook](googlemock/docs/CookBook.md) - recipes for getting things done, including advanced techniques.
You don't need to worry about regenerating the source files
unless you need to modify them. You would then modify the
corresponding `.pump` files and run the '[pump.py](googletest/scripts/pump.py)'
generator script. See the [Pump Manual](googletest/docs/PumpManual.md).
If you need help, please check the [KnownIssues](googlemock/docs/KnownIssues.md) and
[FrequentlyAskedQuestions](googlemock/docs/frequentlyaskedquestions.md) before
posting a question on the [googlemock discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googlemock).
### Contributing Code ###
We'd love to have your help! Please read the Developer Guides if you are willing to contribute to the development.
We welcome patches. Please read the
[Developer's Guide](googletest/docs/DevGuide.md)
for how you can contribute. In particular, make sure you have signed
the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the
patch.

Google C++ Testing Framework
============================
https://github.com/google/googletest
Overview
--------
Google's framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms
(Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Symbian, etc). Based on the
xUnit architecture. Supports automatic test discovery, a rich set of
assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, fatal and non-fatal
failures, various options for running the tests, and XML test report
generation.
Please see the project page above for more information as well as the
mailing list for questions, discussions, and development. There is

### Mac OS X Requirements ###
* Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
* Developer Tools Installed
Also, you'll need [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/ CMake) 2.6.4 or higher if
you want to build the samples using the provided CMake script, regardless
of the platform.
Requirements for Contributors
-----------------------------
We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
build Google Test and its own tests from a git checkout (described
below), which has further requirements:
* [Python](http://python.org/) version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and
re-generating certain source files from templates)
* [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) 2.6.4 or newer
Getting the Source
------------------
Google Test's source is available from its GitHub repository at
<https://github.com/google/googletest>.
The GitHub repository offers stable tagged releases available as .ZIP archives.
A Git checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software
packages on your system, but lets you track the latest development and
make patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
### Source Package ###
Snapshots of Google Test's master branch can be downloaded directly with GitHub's
"Download ZIP" button on the main page.
Versioned releases are also available by clicking on
[Releases](releases) in the project page.
### Git Checkout ###
To check out the master branch of Google Test, run the following git command:
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git (via HTTPS)
### Generic Build Instructions ###
Setting up the Build
--------------------
#### Setup ####
To build Google Test and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
build system where to find its headers and source files. The exact
way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
straightforward.

Upgrating from an Earlier Version
---------------------------------
We strive to keep Google Test releases backward compatible.
Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the
users' long-term benefits. This section describes what you'll need to
do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Test.
### Upgrading from 1.3.0 or Earlier ###
You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1
tuple library. See the instructions in section "Choosing a TR1 Tuple
Library".
### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ###
The Autotools build script (configure + make) is no longer officially
supportted. You are encouraged to migrate to your own build system or
use CMake. If you still need to use Autotools, you can find
instructions in the README file from Google Test 1.4.0.
On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test uses
it in order to be thread-safe. See the "Multi-threaded Tests" section
for what this means to your build script.
If you use Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 with exceptions disabled, Google
Test will no longer compile. This should affect very few people, as a
large portion of STL (including <string>) doesn't compile in this mode
anyway. We decided to stop supporting it in order to greatly simplify
Google Test's implementation.

### Regenerating Source Files ###
Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
in the C++ sense) using a script. A template file is named FOO.pump,
where FOO is the name of the file it will generate. For example, the
file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.
Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files,
unless you need to modify them. In that case, you should modify the
corresponding .pump files instead and run the pump.py Python script to
regenerate them. You can find pump.py in the [scripts/](scripts/) directory.
Read the [Pump manual](docs/PumpManual.md) for how to use it.
### Contributing a Patch ###
We welcome patches. Please read the
[Google Test developer's guide](docs/DevGuide.md)
for how you can contribute. In particular, make sure you have signed
the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the
patch.
