doctest
A fast, single-header C++11/14/17/20/23 testing framework designed for minimal compile times and in-production-code testing.
What is doctest?
doctest is a C++ testing framework designed for exceptional compile-time and runtime performance. It is a single-header library that supports modern C++ standards (C++11 through C++23) and allows tests to be written directly in production code, unlike many traditional frameworks. It solves the problem of slow build times and high integration overhead in C++ unit testing.
C++ developers and teams looking for a lightweight, fast testing framework that integrates seamlessly into existing codebases, especially those practicing test-driven development or needing to test internal APIs.
Developers choose doctest for its unparalleled compile-time speed, flexibility to embed tests anywhere, and minimal intrusion into codebases. Its single-header design and ability to disable all test code make it ideal for performance-critical and large-scale projects.
