GTest Vs CppUnit

Gtest is a more fully featured unit testing framework compared to CppUnit. Gtest supports test fixtures, setup/teardown, automated test registration, XML output, custom asserts, death tests, disabling tests, and selecting tests to run via name patterns. It also has a rich set of built-in asserts and handles crashes. CppUnit is an older framework that is better suited for small tests and lacks many of these features.

CppUnit framework was old and mostly used for small tests and it didn't support much feature
disable a particular test, one and only advantage is that it requeries less libraries as compa
suitable for TDD(Test Driven Development) evironment. CppUnit still requires RTTI, the STL
world to require that, but it could be problematic if you want to link against libraries that have n
STL. CppUnit requires lot of typing o add new test and the relative complexity of the source
different platforms.

complexity of the source code, which could make it challenging to port to
