Modern C++ Programming Cookbook

Overview of this book

C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. Fast, efficient, and flexible, it is used to solve many problems. The latest versions of C++ have seen programmers change the way they code, giving up on the old-fashioned C-style programming and adopting modern C++ instead. Beginning with the modern language features, each recipe addresses a specific problem, with a discussion that explains the solution and offers insight into how it works. You will learn major concepts about the core programming language as well as common tasks faced while building a wide variety of software. You will learn about concepts such as concurrency, performance, meta-programming, lambda expressions, regular expressions, testing, and many more in the form of recipes. These recipes will ensure you can make your applications robust and fast. By the end of the book, you will understand the newer aspects of C++11/14/17 and will be able to overcome tasks that are time-consuming or would break your stride while developing.

Introduction


Testing the code is an important part of software development. Although there is no support for testing in the C++ standard, there is a large variety of frameworks for unit testing C++ code. The purpose of this chapter is to get you started with several modern and widely used testing frameworks that enable you to write portable testing code. The frameworks discussed in this chapter were chosen due to their rich capabilities, the ease with which they can be used to write and execute tests, extensibility, and customization.
