Integrating Google C Testing Framework with Visual Studio 2005

Setting up Google C Testing Framework (gtest) with Visual Studio 2005 can be a hassle due to limited documentation. This step-by-step guide aims to simplify the process.

Obtaining gtest

1. Download and unzip the latest gtest framework to C:gtest.

Building gtest Libraries

1. Open C:gtestmsvcgtest.sln in Visual Studio.
2. Set the configuration to "Debug" and build the solution.

Configuring Your Test Project

1. Create a new Visual C Win32 Console Application solution.

2. In the project properties, configure the following:

   • Include Directories: Add C:gtestinclude
   • Runtime Library: Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) or Debug (/MTd)
   • Additional Library Directories: Add C:gtestmsvcgtestDebug (or ...gtest-mdDebug depending on gtestd.lib location)
   • Additional Dependencies: Add gtestd.lib

Testing It Out

1. In the main() function of your test project, include gtest and test code:

   #include "gtest/gtest.h"
   
   TEST(sample_test_case, sample_test) {
       EXPECT_EQ(1, 1);
   }

2. Debug and run the application.

If successful, the console window will display the unit test results.
