xTests is a testing library for C and C++. Specifically, it is a small,
lightweight, portable, simple unit- and component-test
framework suitable for exercising C and C++ libraries. Its primary design
features are:

- Portability. It relies on no platform-specific or compiler-specific
constructs. The only library it relies on is the 100%
header-only, open-source STLSoft library. It works with a large number of C/C++
compilers. Importantly, it is sufficiently simple
and lightweight that it is bundled with several other open-source libraries,
and is an integral part of their automated unit- and
component-testing in their builds.
- Simplicity. It doesn't require pre-processing of your source code by
scripting languages. It doesn't use macros to create secret
classes that use Schwarz counters to register test cases. It relies on you to
simply code what you want, and nothing that you don't
want.

xTests is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style
license.

Release 0.6.1 incorporates:
 * added evaluation of heterogeneous string types, using shim-based: The use of
string access shims was incorporated into the
multibyte and wide string evaluation constructs, allowing for heterogeneous
string types to be compared automatically, with apparent
structural conformance in client code. Now C-style strings, std::string,
std::wstring, and any other types for which string access
shims are defined may be compared as if they're implicitly comparable.

Note: this release of xTests requires STLSoft 1.9.31, or later. Download from
