C++ unit testing with VS test professional.

Question

Does any one know if I can test native code in VS Test 2010?

Answer 1

As of VS2010, native C++ unit testing is not directly supported by Visual Studio. See MSDN, specifically:

You cannot have test projects with unit tests that use unmanaged C++.

You can still do native C++ unit testing with Visual Studio, but it won't be as integrated as other VS features. See this SO answer for a number of native unit testing frameworks and libraries. I have not used any of those, so I cannot give any guidance there.

Answer 2

I would bite the bullet, download Boost and get the test suite compiled. Once you get into it, it's as easy as VS tests.
