cutee is the acronym of C++ Unit Testing Easy Environment and it's (guess what?) a tool to handle unit testing.

Unit testing is not very fun and I think that current unit testing tools are more difficult than what they are supposed to be. I mean that I don't want to write a 20-lines C++ file and modify a few more files just to run a single line of test-function. What I wanted was a simple, very simple way to create tests that would compile and run with a single command. Nothing more, nothing less.

I first tried CxxTest and it is good and easy but it generates a single big file with all the required code to run all tests and this didn't scale well. The main runtests.cc file run bigger and bigger and compiling time quickly went up. Also I didn't want to add a Perl interpreter to the list of my projects requirements just because CxxTest need Perl to parse files.

So here you'll find my testing framework. It's easy to use, small and portable (it has been currently tested on Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD with gcc 3.x.x and 2.9.x).

The only requirement is a C++ compiler. I'm reasonably sure you have it. 🙂
