A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch)

Previously a random test ordering was obtained by applying std::shuffle to the tests in declaration order. This has two problems: - It depends on the declaration order, so the order in which the tests will be run will be platform-specific. - When trying to debug accidental inter-test dependencies, it is helpful to be able to find a minimal subset of tests which exhibits the issue. However, any change to the set of tests being run will completely change the test ordering, making it difficult or impossible to reduce the set of tests being run in any reasonably efficient manner. Therefore, change the randomization approach to resolve both these issues. Generate a random value based on the user-provided RNG seed. Convert every test case to an integer by hashing a combination of that value with the test name. Sort the test cases by this integer. The test names and RNG are platform-independent, so this should be consistent across platforms. Also, removing one test does not change the integer value associated with the remaining tests, so they remain in the same order. To hash, use the FNV-1a hash, except with the basis being our randomly selected value rather than the fixed basis set in the algorithm. Cannot use std::hash, because it is important that the result be platform-independent. |

Catch2 is released!
If you've been using an earlier version of Catch, please see the Breaking Changes section of the release notes before moving to Catch2. You might also like to read this blog post for more details.
What's the Catch?
Catch2 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
This documentation comprises these three parts:
- Why do we need yet another C++ Test Framework?
- Tutorial - getting started
- Reference section - all the details
