What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers accelerate and stabilize C++ testing by guiding best practices for unit, integration tests, and test infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Testing setup guidance: configuring GoogleTest/CTest in CMake projects.
  • Test quality improvements: strategies for reliable unit and integration tests, mocks, and fixtures.
  • Sanitizers and coverage: how to enable sanitizers and measure coverage in CI.
  • Use Case: A project adds GoogleTest to a new C++ library and ensures red/green cycles and stable tests across platforms.

Quick Start

Use the cpp-testing skill to bootstrap a GoogleTest/CTest workflow in a new or existing C++ project.

Frequently Asked Questions about cpp-testing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up GoogleTest with CMake and CTest for a C++ project?▼

You configure GoogleTest with CMake by integrating CTest for automated test discovery and execution. This establishes a CI-ready workflow that supports unit, integration, and sanitizer coverage goals across modern C++ projects.

What is the best way to structure C++ unit tests using mocks and fixtures?▼

The best way to structure C++ unit tests is by using GoogleTest mocks and fixtures to isolate components. This approach enforces deterministic tests and supports red/green/refactor cycles for reliable test quality improvements.

Can I enable sanitizers and measure test coverage in CI for C++?▼

Yes, you can enable sanitizers and measure coverage in CI for C++. The skill provides guidance on configuring CI-ready workflows that integrate sanitizer checks and coverage measurement to ensure stable testing.

How do GoogleTest workflows handle test discovery across different platforms?▼

GoogleTest workflows handle test discovery by configuring CTest to automatically detect and run registered tests. This ensures stable, deterministic test execution across different platforms in modern C++ projects.

Do I need to follow red/green/refactor cycles when adding C++ tests?▼

Yes, you need to follow red/green/refactor cycles when adding C++ tests. This skill enforces clear workflow requirements for deterministic tests, ensuring reliable test quality and stable infrastructure across platforms.
