Hi all, I'm sending this email to request some comments on a C++11 library I've written based on Test::More. I hope this is on topic for this mailing list. If there are better places for this, could you direct me to them?
cipra is a header-only C++11 testing library based on Test::More. I know there are several active users of it, by email correspondence, so some of you may have heard of it before. It's a TAP13 provider and can be used with any TAP harness. When I was designing it, I tried to map the semantics of Test::More to C++11, without a lot of the baggage of other libraries, like CppUnit or Boost.Test. You can find cipra here <http://cipra.sourceforge.net/>. A year and a half after the initial design, I think I can do better. I'm planning a new version that even more closely models Test::More and that adds new features. I want to make sure there are not useful things that I'm missing, though. As such, I'd love if anyone here who also uses C++11 and is looking for a testing library could play around with the cipra and see if there are any things you miss from Test::More, or any other limitations you run into. Some examples of the comments I'm looking for (and either have myself or have gotten by other users) are: * Add YAMLish output to give better debug information. * Implement a TAP Harness in C++, so we don't need Perl as a dependency just for the "prove" command. * Add subtests, and make sure they are thread-safe. Thanks in advance for any comments you have. I really appreciate any feedback! Cheers, Patrick Niedzielski
