Google C++ Unit Test Framework (gtest) Template

This templates goal is to provide a quick means to start a project using GTest.

This template assumes GTest is already installed on a linux system. If it is not please refear to http://www.thebigblob.com/getting-started-with-google-test-on-ubuntu/

The files

• build.sh - Bash script to build and run the source code in src/
• test.sh - bash script to build and run the Google tests in gtest/
• cleaup-all.sh - deletes the files in bin/build and bin/gtest

gtest/ - Source files for your google test

• CMakeLists.txt - cmake script for making the makefile
• runtests.cpp - the Google test enhanced test source code

src/ - source files for the normal build

• CMakeLists.txt - cmake script for your normal build
• main.cpp - Your normal source code
• main.h - Your normal source code header file

bin/build/ - This is where your normal build goes

• main - This is your normal build. This is created when you run build.sh
• Report - This is your Google Test build. This is created when you run build.sh

bin/gtest/ - This is where the files go for a Google test run

• runTests - This is your Google Test build. This is created when you run test.sh
