## What's the Catch2?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catch2 is mainly a unit testing framework for C++, but it also
|
|
|
|
|
provides basic micro-benchmarking features, and simple BDD macros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catch2's main advantage is that using it is both simple and natural.
|
|
|
|
|
Tests autoregister themselves and do not have to be named with valid
|
|
|
|
|
identifiers, assertions look like normal C++ code, and sections provide
|
|
|
|
|
a nice way to share set-up and tear-down code in tests.

## Catch2 v3 is being developed!

|
|
|
You are on the `devel` branch, where the next major version, v3, of
|
|
|
|
|
Catch2 is being developed. As it is a significant rework, you will
|
|
|
|
|
find that parts of this documentation are likely still stuck on v2.

|
|
|
For stable (and documentation-matching) version of Catch2, [go to the
|
|
|
|
|
`v2.x` branch](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/tree/v2.x).
|

|
|

|
|
|
For migrating from the v2 releases to v3, you should look at [our
|
|
|
|
|
documentation](docs/migrate-v2-to-v3.md#top). It provides a simple
|
|
|
|
|
guidelines on getting started, and collects most common migration
|
|
|
|
|
problems.
