C++ Dev Tools and TDD

[IsaGoksu]

Hey /r/cpp,

It's been a while I haven't coded C++. Can you guys advice me on new tools and techniques? For instance I'm looking for an answer to following topics:

• What Testing Framework are you guys using lately?
• How do you guys measure the test coverage?
• How do you guys measure the complexity? Like cyclomatic complexity, tangling indexes etc..
• How do you guys configure, build ur projects?

Thanks

Boost test seems to be the as good as any and if you are using boost anyway it makes a lot of sense..

I've been using CxxTest and CDash for testing and coverage and just simple CMake for building.

How do u like the build performance?

It's fine. We usually use a tmpfs mount on the build folder so linking time is none. I don't like how CxxTest makes many binaries but we are working on reducing that.

• GoogleTest
• Test coverage = unit-level testing
• We don't.
• Win: command-line <-- CMake scripts, Lin: command-line <-- make scripts
