## What's the Catch?
Catch stands for C++ Automated Test Cases in Headers and is a multi-paradigm automated test framework for C++ and Objective-C (and, maybe, C). It is implemented entirely in a set of header files, but is packaged up as a single header for extra convenience.
Catch stands for C++ Automated Test Cases in Headers and is a
multi-paradigm test framework for C++. which also supports Objective-C
and, maybe, C.
It is primarily distributed as a single header file, although certain
extensions may require additional headers.
## How to use it

# Why do we need yet another C++ test framework?
Good question. For C++ there are quite a number of established frameworks, including (but not limited to), [CppUnit](http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/cppunit/index.php?title=Main_Page), [Google Test](http://code.google.com/p/googletest/), [Boost.Test](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html), [Aeryn](https://launchpad.net/aeryn), [Cute](http://r2.ifs.hsr.ch/cute), [Fructose](http://fructose.sourceforge.net/) and [many, many more](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unit_testing_frameworks#C.2B.2B). Even for Objective-C there are a few, including OCUnit - which now comes bundled with XCode.

So what does Catch bring to the party that differentiates it from these? Apart from a Catchy name, of course.
## Key Features
* Really easy to get started. Just download catch.hpp, `#include` it and you're away.
* Quick and Really easy to get started. Just download catch.hpp, `#include` it and you're away.
* No external dependencies. As long as you can compile C++11 and have a C++ standard library available.
* Write test cases as, self-registering, functions (or methods, if you prefer).
* Divide test cases into sections, each of which is run in isolation (eliminates the need for fixtures).

* Internal and friendly macros are isolated so name clashes can be managed
* Matchers
## Objective-C-specific features
* Automatically detects if you are using it from an Objective-C project
* Works with and without ARC with no additional configuration
* Implement test fixtures using Obj-C classes too (like OCUnit)
* Additional built in matchers that work with Obj-C types (e.g. string matchers)
