Abstract

Choosing the right tools to support a harmonic test work-flow is a crucial task. It strongly depends on the programming language and the current development environment, therefore often becoming quite difficult. This is especially true for legacy object-oriented programming languages like native C++. Tools supporting this language are rare; comprehensive test frameworks for native C++ code, which can be integrated into an existing software development environment, hardly exist. Particularly the limited integrability of commercially available test frameworks drives the need to combine freely available test tools. This paper offers a suggestion for tools which can be combined easily to form a comprehensive test framework, providing a harmonic test support for native C++ code.
